| Hello all, I have been very busy as of late. What with buying a house, moving in, and preparing for the arrival of our first child (she is due May 6, btw), I haven’t had much time for building. The pimp my Mech contest got me all up in arms to use (...) (18 years ago, 21-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.space)

That cockpit design is also cool, a little more impact than just a solid wedge piece, although I wish the color matched. I'd suggest trying to get (...)
