        Re: Marsbase update...new mecha —Mark Sandlin
     (...) That's a burly-looking mecha, Ben. Any cockpit pics? I think the shoulders could use a little something, tho. They seem a little plain, IMO. I noticed the 1x2 technic beam at the elbow is only held on by two studs. Is this a problem when (...) (24 years ago, 28-Feb-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
