| Well, I mentioned this one in an aside a while back, and even though I'm only posting it today, it was really done a few weeks ago, so I can't in all conscience enter it in the contest.... I guess I'll have to do something else. Anyway, while I move (...) (23 years ago, 7-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) Excellent. I think you did a very nice job of making rounded shoulders. Reminds me of one of Masamune Shirow's Landmates from Appleseed. I don't recall very many Technic scale mecha before. Cool. ~Grand Admiral Muffin Head (23 years ago, 7-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) That's beautiful--hardsuits are difficult because of LEGO proportions at the minifig scale, but you've taken TECHNIC scale and made something that looks really nice but isn't overpowering! I really like the "understated" utility of the (...) (23 years ago, 8-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) Thanks GAMH. You have picked the right reference-- Shirow is always a big influence. His Landmates are so pared down and organic, though, it's a personal challenge to achieve in a rectilinear medium. thanks for your comments. stuart (23 years ago, 8-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Definitely like the whole technic fig hardsuit theme as well. Seeing these pics have inspired me to (...) (23 years ago, 8-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I love it! it has such a smooth shape to it, all of the angles and curves flow together nicely, I really like this! the feet are awesome as well, and technic fig scale too! woohoo! Thanks for sharing a awesome model (...) (23 years ago, 8-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

And I'll only quickly mention the obvious: Technic fig cockpit = (...) (23 years ago, 9-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Now, as to making it minifig scale, were you thinking of just changing the cockpit configuration, and maintaing the overall size, or were you thinking of scaling down the whole thing?
