Pat,
Anything that transforms is by definition much more difficult than building
either a mecha or a spaceship. I really like the spaceship. On the mecha I

Bryce

| Thanks Bryce. I'm glad you picked up on that. Besides for the folding body and swinging legs (both of which are in every transforming ship I know of) the rest was all original. Everything was carefully planned and drawn out before building. The real (...) (25 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)
