I was on a trip to Las Vegas. There are mechs there called "one armed • bandits",
very dangerous, good at desert warfare, unpredictably blasting out streams
of hypervelocity metal discs. My plane barely made it out as the bandits

These are so beautiful!  I was hoping you would post a picture with all three
gundams.  I would love to see these things IRL.  I could spend hours examining

Anyway, I must now resume drooling over your new Gundam images....

(...) Since I had to destroy my old black gundam to make the new one, I took some pictures of the obsolete joint technology: (URL) S2, S3... up to S14 to see all the pictures. (...) They are about 28 inches tall. The hip joints dampen the (...) (23 years ago, 7-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
