(...) Thanks Jon - detail is always the name of the game! I'm not familiar with the Cicada (not that I'm all that knowledgeable on Battletech in general) but from the sound of the name I'm glad I added the AA gun ;) (...) That I plan to do! Zac (19 years ago, 26-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(lugnet ate my first reply, so here is a repost) I'm trying to figure this out... The ship comes in, unloads some containers, they are hoisted by a crazy crane into a pit. This pit is adjacent to another pit containing an unruly tentacled monster (...) (19 years ago, 26-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Zac, What can I say, This is just a well executed mecha. I love the amount of detail in such a small package. It kinda reminds me of a Cicada from Battletech, that is, until you added the AA guns. :) Keep on building! Jon (19 years ago, 26-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Ahhh OK that makes sense ;) White I could have done, except I don't have enough 1x1 round bricks in white. Red and blue are definite possibilities though - blue would have probably worked nice on the model. I see your point though - black was (...) (19 years ago, 26-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Thanks Marco. I suppose that the moral of the story is never skimp on joints - in the long run making sacrifices for more sturdier joints is going to make the model more dynamic and thus better. And yeah I'm very happy with it's posability! (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Thanks Mark, As a programmer I feel quite embarraced that I didn't do the ftx properly! At least I got the text links right! In my defence, it seems a really wierd 'language'.

The AA guns I love too (even more than the rocket pod yet funnily enough the guns were a lot less effort) and they do depress to about -5 degrees although the (...)

Hi all, My final entry.

Hi Zac, great job! I like the legs and feet. The details and the guns. But most of all I like that look of this bulky body heading straight foreward to blow away everything that's in the way.
