NIIIIICE!!!!
The like the light blue thrown in there. I think that color is great, goes
with grey and black really well.

The legs have nice details but still remain minimal in size. What are tech
specs of that knee joint? Is it just a three long technic pin, or did you
add a little 'Sneadian' joint tweakage to it? :^) Does the joint have a
range of motion, or is it static? It's got to be pretty strong to support
the body.

The dual hinged cockpit design grabs me too. It is functional, compact, and
unusual! (Unsual used in a good connotation. Similar to inventive.) I am
stickler for color though. IMHO the teal LOM alien arms used on the lower
hinge stick out. I think some gray ones for the SW droidekas would blend
better with your color scheme. :^)

Da macheen guns are kickin'! You could saw a tree in half with those. I also
like the little saw greebles under the arms! Awesome!

I cruised through the family pics too. That's alot of red and yellow! We
know which colors are your favorite! I think it's cool that you leave all
your mechs together. I am trying to do the same. I have all my MCF mechas
still, I want to have a nice big family too! Do you ever go back and tweek
your old creations?

Thanks for sharing Mark!

For the pics: (URL) while ago Idid the Treefrog: (URL) the little mech had a big flaw, nothing could fit in it. As such, I did a MK 2, the Posion Dart Frog. It fits a minifig, and is a bit more serious as a mech. Also, I took the opportunity to do (...) (22 years ago, 3-Sep-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
