        Re: Christmas Beetle —Richie Dulin
     (...) Nice work, as always Tim - you're certainly one of the most prolific mech builders of recent times!

         Re: Christmas Beetle —Timothy Gould
      (...) Thanks Richie. I try to spend a lot of time building and practising my skills. It helps that I like to keep my builds small and compact to really have fun squeezing the detail in. (...)

   (...) Tim, Great design on this mech. I was wondering what technique you use to get the "pencil" drawings on your wallpaper? Thanks, Jim F. (18 years ago, 20-Nov-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
   
        Re: Christmas Beetle —Timothy Gould
   (...) Hi Jim, Thanks. First I make an all-white version of the model and then render it with ldview using settings to make flat colours (as opposed to ones that change depending on the angle to the viewer) and thick lines. After that it's just a (...) (18 years ago, 20-Nov-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
