(...) Ah, building a mech bay is a great suggestion. Hopefully my future builds will be able to stand on their own (!), but if not, this would definitely be the way to go for a better presentation. Thanks Eric! Dennis (17 years ago, 27-Nov-07, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Thanks Travis. Glad you like the mech and its photos. Yes, it is unable to stand on its own. I need to learn more about joint capabilities and also improve my building so that things don't end up being so heavy. :) Dennis (17 years ago, 27-Nov-07, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Hey, coolness. I never made anything in those colors before, I like it. The way you built the cabin on top is really makes this design for me. Like it can take on action from all sides.

Hello! Clean and neat design! I see you also rebuilt the legs and feet. Maybe instead of a stand, you could create a lite mech bay to prop it up. Just a thought. Wow those are some jet boosters! Wonderful photography. I liked seeing the presentation (...) (17 years ago, 25-Nov-07, to lugnet.build.mecha)
