Not a bad little mech...Just built one from the ldraw file on brickshelf.

A couple of minor issues: 1) the 1x2 plates with handles in the upper leg are the wrong sort to fit the lower leg portion onto.

2) Replacing the yellow 1x2 plates, 1x2 tiles and 1x1 tiles with 1x1 plates and 1x4 tiles increases the strength of the cabin considerably.

3) The order of the parts seems somewhat hap-hazard...quite often parts are added that are not connected and left floating for some time. Have you considered re-ordering the parts to avoid this?

Other than that, it’s a very nice model...Any problems if I include one in my Brickvention MOC’s (referencing you as designer of course)?

Of course, I’m still trying to work out suitable Brikwars use for this mech :)

(...) Hehe. Cool. Thanks for building this and especially for all the advice. I'll fix the problems, add steps and make some instructions. The order is usually the order I build, copy-paste, add new parts etc. which is really not the way things are (...) (18 years ago, 7-Jun-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
