NICE! With capital letters.  Great job Anthony.  This is exactly what my ZERO
needs right now, a nice double-barreled heave rifle (not that I dislike the
Gallet Gun II but it really doesn't match the Gundam).  Where do you live?  If
you could let me borrow that cannon for a day or two I will even go out and buy
more Lego sets to upgrade the arms to hold such a weight (shouldn't weigh more
than 3 pounds considering the pieces that you are using, right?).
Well like a said, good work, and if you live anywhere near the Bay Area, please
lend me that cannon : )

Have fun building.

Well, a few weeks ago I had a sick day from school. I stayed home and, having nothing else to do, I went decided to build a Giant Gundam, my plan was to make it so large that I'd need to be inside to act as the frame. that never came to be, I don't (...)
