    New MOC: PSU (Police Support Unit) —Mladen Pejic
   (URL) greatly by works of [1] Masumane Shirow. Also, I had to use all these red and white parts in a model! ;-D Mladen Pejic, over and out! (2 URLs) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, lugnet.announce, lugnet.build.military)

     (...) by itself! I have no idea what is the relationship between Masumane Shirow and the PSU, but the PSU looks muck better. You have made an extremely nice use of the jet ski handles and the little Technic piece posing as a machine cannon. For some (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

     WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! Just when I thought it was going to be a while before you show us something new, wham! Beautiful!

         Re: New MOC: PSU (Police Support Unit) —Mladen Pejic
     Thanks Travis! The mini-gun was a last minute sorta thing. I actually envisioned this mecha having six back mounted grenades which were made of those axle pieces. After I saw this would be too large, I started making it smaller. (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
   
        Re: New MOC: PSU (Police Support Unit) —Dave Johann
     Mladen, you have got to stop raising the bar on us. Just as I thought I could hurdle it and catch you with another great design, the hurdle goes up another six inches and trips me! :) Seriously, this is one fantastic design! I, too, was shocked to (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
    
         Re: New MOC: PSU (Police Support Unit) —Mladen Pejic
     (...) LOL! I'm not really raising the bar, I'm just building what I like. I'm sure some of the other mecha builders could design a better quadruped police tank... ;-) (...) Thank you! Getting the pilot in there was the biggest challenge, once I got (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

        Re: New MOC: PSU (Police Support Unit) —Stuart Immonen
     Excellent as usual, Mladen. I especially love the underside-- real bug-like, just like Shirow tends to design. It's funny, though-- I know the Shirow piece you referenced, but I don't actually remember a lot of walking tanks actually _in_ GITS (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
    
         Re: New MOC: PSU (Police Support Unit) —Mladen Pejic

         Re: New MOC: PSU (Police Support Unit) —Mladen Pejic

Yeah, I think they would be guided, since the mecha only carries two! ;-D I didn't want to place a large missile pod on the mecha, since missiles might cause "collateral damage" in an urban environment.

        Re: New MOC: PSU (Police Support Unit) —Brian Cooper
     (...) Actually I think it looks more like it belongs to the Fire Department than the police (not black and white). That could be a foam cannon. I don't think I've ever seen a firefighting mecha. "K" (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
