OH MANNNNNNNN!!!!!!! THIS IS THE BEST MECH EVER! Well, maybe, anyway! I just LOVE this! Looks like it came right out of Battle of the Planets! The building skills demonstrated here are, of course, lovely, but the idea of it is absolutely superior-- (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.space)

LOL! This really something original... ;-D Great job as always Mark. I love the weapons you managed to "sneak" in. The cockpit is cool too, sorta reminded me of the one found on Metal Gear REX (of course this happens quite frequently to me). :-) (...)

Thanks. I've wanted a creation that could be mistaken for a sculpture when everything was hidden. I think I got it right. I know that because I just sort of stare at the thing...

Mark, man...that's awesome. very non-mecha looking. great to see something different that is done so superbly. very nice. i like the sort of non-artificial look to it. there are alot of humanoid mecha, lots of machine looking, and several animal-ish (...)

You know that's my only beef too. Body's a bit square but it does look better in person, so much you wouldn't notice. Also, it's hard to see but the body does taper in the back and there are slopes on the front of the body. Ultimately the body's (...)

Yeah, I was shooting for something different. Make it look life like. Actually I wanted something universially appealing. Something my wife wouldn't mind displaying in the living room and that I thought was cool. This brings up a interesting issue (...)

My God! Drool is actually coming through the screen. That's gross. :=0 I'm just afraid to see what's going to come of this. I got other ideas but can you see a Dragon mech of this ilk? I thought of doing a Raven too. Now that'd be cool. Thanks for (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.space)

(...) You really only get this sense with articulated mecha like this, not solid sculptures. The feather design on the wing is very organic and natural looking. I'd call this the Black Buzzard though, it has a roughness that is more like that bird, (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I have to admit, I've smothered my screen with drool looking at his dragon and can't deny that they were an influence. He's removed some of the construction pics though so I'm not sure how his are put together anymore. On Black Eagle the flight (...)
