How soon? What does it look like? How big is it? Man, I have this awesome arm and gun built but don't have a clue how to use them! Maybe your new model will give me some inspiration! (...) real, (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jun-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Yeah, I asked you to make more smaller mecha. While were're on the subject of mecha: a) I have just completed 80% of my new Rapid Response Mecha that is about twice the size of my current mecha, it's going to have a white and red paint scheme, b) (...)

Can you send me the .dat file of the mecha, it's okay if you can't or don't want to? I just wanna have a sneak peek! BTW The pilot of my new mecha can actually pop his head up underneath the mecha's head, ala _Patlabor_! (...) about (...) a (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Actually I have built the "Ryu" mech from the LCad instructions on Karim's site, it is about 95% complete and will stand on it's own (with some careful balancing) as long as the booster "backpack" is not attached.I have made some changes to the (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Ahem... Yes, well, I can see that that might be a problem... I did actually build about 60% of that "booster pack", and it stands up just fine... but It kinda grew a little bit due to aesthetic considerations during the LCADing process... (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
