(...) Nasty looking (... not the quality <grin>) Quick note on Hi-8: I have Hi-8(sony) too and have found that even in day light (as these look to be) turn on as many other lights AYC.

Fear not, I will LCAD and render this model tomorrow, then you can judge it's looks. I just wanted to show all the non-LCAD people that I do build all my models IRL, and I also wanted to do a cool scene, well it looks like I didn't succeed... ;-( (...)

Why which cannon do you mean... ;-) Seriously though, if you mean the "groin" mounted artillery cannons, well than, ha ha ha... I really wish people realize that it is a mecha not a human.

There are such things as low-yield nukes, which have a small blast range and are used on smaller targets. The US military has "man packs," so called because they can be carried in a backpack. They are of approximate strength that they can destroy a (...) (24 years ago, 30-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Mark's is correct. And I specifically stated "Tactical" Nuclear Missiles, not things like the "H-Bomb" and etc. And I was kidding when I said that it would "light" the battlefield.
