    My Mecha Unveiled! —Jeff Stembel

        Re: My Mecha Unveiled! —Chris Maddison
     Very nice! I like the use of the green elements; not something you see much of in mechs. You're right, though. You need to build up the thighs and hide those throwbot joints on the hips better. I was also impressed with the head of the mech. The way (...) (25 years ago, 18-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

         Re: My Mecha Unveiled! —Will Middelaer
     (...) Bram, Sorry for the slow reply. Jeff let me know that you were interested in the camera that took the pictures. I use a Kodak DC 215. I took those photos using the macro mode, with the flash, and using the automatic timer. I don't have the (...) (25 years ago, 22-Apr-00, to lugnet.publish)

        Re: My Mecha Unveiled! —Dan Simonson
   Nice Mecha. It looks a lot like one of the Gundam Mobile Suits from Gundam Wing (especally the sword). I'm just a beginner though;-) Dan P.S. The name should be something scary in Latin like Deus Ex Machina or Hades (I know thats not latin) (...) (25 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
   
        Re: My Mecha Unveiled! —Jeff Stembel
