  Re: My first mech!
 
Dave, It looks great! This will definitely look nice wreaking havoc everywhere :) I loved the great range of flexibility it exhibits, and some of the poses! And just to remind everybody, there are a scant 17 nights-for-building before the big event (...) (25 years ago, 15-Mar-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, lugnet.org.us.nelug)

  Re: My first mech!
 
(...) Very nice! I've been a big fan of Colin's site for a while now, and I've been wanting to try out some of his techniques, but unfortunately I have a rather limited selection of Technic parts (at least, I think I do, but then again, I still need (...)

  Re: My first mech!
 
I'll add my superlatives to everyone else's: Stunning! Cool! Marvelous! The side-rotation of the hip is especially nice - as well as the four fingered hand (that's Colin's?) But I'm *very* disappointed in the fencing en garde pose - the back foot is (...) (25 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

(...) Dave: OK, I had to: I built one last night. I am *astounded* by how easy he is to pose! He can stand, kneel, sit, squat, balance on one foot, you name it! Couple of questions, though: 1 - In mine, the shoulder-to-upper arm rotation joint is a (...) (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)
