Cool mecha Dave. But I've already told you this face to face. I really like
the whole Zodiac line idea. It reminds me of the marketing idea behind the
first Mustangs. It's kinda of a bummer about the LUGOLA pics scooping you,
but hey no time like the present. For those with a good eye Brad caught a
section of my new mech as well. (Okay shameless plug = bad form) I guess
it's a good thing we're friends.

What does shameless plug mean?
And why is it bad form?

Well, Brad let the cat out of the bag with this picture:

I hadn't planned on showing it publicly(LUGNET-wise) until all the pods were
finished on it, but there it sits on the bottom right hand corner of the
picture. The other Zodiac Mecha are sitting on the double baseplate except Libra

Scorpio has eight legs that move and a stinger that looks wicked from the side.
This picture was a bad angle to show that off, but I'll post more pics tomorrow.
The pod(gungan sub domes) sitting on the back of the mech is the prison
transport pod holding a single prisoner. Other pods are available: weapons
transport, troop transport, or even troop support are viable ways this mech can
be used.

I'll comment on the construction tomorrow when the pics are up.
