WOW! WOW! WOW! Zero Four is simply beautiful! Very sleek and menacing. The legs are amazing; I love the spiked knees. The HyperSniper cannon looks great.

Brian, Awesome work. You continue to inspire. And your story telling is so great. I really like all the details: worker robots, hover car, spotlights, test station, and the gantry.

(...) When you build something and know every detail, it can seem mundane and everyone else's creations look far more interesting and clever, but that's just the way the brain works. I'd sooner visit your website and marvel at the beautiful mecha (...) (23 years ago, 28-Oct-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Indeed, I always do! "04" is quite nice! I especially like the wings on this one. I also like the fact that you photographed it with a primarily grey background. THe details show up much more clearly! Some time ago, you mentioned working on a (...) (23 years ago, 28-Oct-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
