    My First Mecha and a new fighter —Patrick Justison
   I just uploaded some images of my first mecha model. It is not like most of the mecha designs out there so i refer to it as a walker. The thing it reminds me most of is an AT-AT though there isn't really much of a resemblence. The model is highly (...) (24 years ago, 25-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

     Buy extras. :^) I just bought my second X-wing set this week. I just love the new Star Wars parts... lots of good parts. I finished a new mecha last night. Turns out I have a wealth of red slopes, so I decided to build a red mecha with black and (...) (24 years ago, 3-May-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

      By the way, you have to follow this path: Front Mission 3 --> Features --> Customization Unfortunately, the screen pics are a bit simplified. If you really want to see the mecha, you should try to find pictures of the toys. I'll report back if I (...) (24 years ago, 3-May-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

         Re: My First Mecha and a new fighter —Mark Sandlin
