Ok, ok after this I'll stop posting updates this often. Anyway, this is another mecha I built after being inspired by Patlabor (yes, I am an obsessive fan) and one of the mecha from Front Mission 3. Enjoy and LMKWYT!!! Mladen Pejic, over and out! (...) (25 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Mladen, this one is way cool. I love the cockpit! And the head. And the limbs. And, and...oh heck, it's a cool model. :-, Looking back at your older stuff, I can say that you are definitely picking up more and more skills. Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Thanks a lot Jeremy. This model was actually first designed on paper and then made. I'm really happy how it turned. I can't believe how much colour can make a model better; this model in real life is mostly grey, red, black which looks so-so, but (...) (25 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Thanks Karim. Regarding the POV-Ray... tried it... didn't like it. Anyway what's wrong with regular pics? I think they are fine. Anyway, regular pics = show model, POV-Ray = show model, make things "shiny". I mean, does better picture quality (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
