Here she is folks, Dragonwolf: (URL) should probably be in the military 8" and taller category. ***...***story***...*** "Hitman, stand by." Raptor’s voice was a little edgy sounding over the com link. "I’m going to eliminate your problem." Hitman (...) (22 years ago, 17-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Mark That is quite large! How tall is it? I assume it is primarily worm gears for the joints right? Wow. I love the detail in the head. Also the powerplant section is really quite nice. Not alot of people go to the trouble to add powerplants. I will (...) (22 years ago, 17-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) DW is about 15" tall and somwhere in the neighborhood of 2' long. (nose to tail) DW is easily my largest mech yet, though Titan was just barely taller. The Legs are mostly static, with a double worm gear setup in the hip to allow for angling (...) (22 years ago, 17-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Wow. I think Tony needs to reclassify the categories to 12 inches and lower because the big mechs are REALLY BIG. :) Nice job, btw, it reminds me of one of the baddies in Einhander. (...) Most definitely. (...) Wow. Very very cool. This is my (...) (22 years ago, 17-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Thanks! <snip> (...) Turned out pretty good. The thing that gets me is that even though this mech is really big, the frontal area is actually pretty small. It's from the side or above that DW presents it's mass. (...) Hear Hear! Time for more (...) (22 years ago, 17-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Thanks Eric, seeing if I can get a few other ideas done in time perhaps there shall be a part three, starring Bison. Of course I haven't even started it yet soo. You know this story idea is sort of self perpetuating. I want to keep the story going, (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Hey Mark I was about to jump offline, I'm glad I caught you. Could you please tell me - us, the exact height of this monster? It really looks huge! e P.S. True the story bit helps, then all sorts of ideas pop up. cool. (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

you have got to be kidding! that thing is huge! what a behemoth! I like the miniguns and the power plant the best. speaking of the engine, do you choose parts that are more cosmetic to the engine look, or do you actually build it as if each part (...)

Ah, ha. Now that I'm home I can take mesurments! Dragonwolf is, 18" tall, from table top to top of back spines 33" long, from tail tip to nose 17" wide, from chain gun to chain gun (it'd be wider if you splayed out the two guns.) Mark (...) (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Now those are some guns! That is one cool mech I wish I could chose it to play on mechassault. It gives the impression of great speed and power. This is turning out to be one good contest every entry is good. -Semaj (22 years ago, 18-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Woah, when I first saw this my jaw dropped. I just love how you give your mechs so much personality, Mark. This one for some reason looks especially nasty and cruel. Also, the guns... 'all' the guns, are just fab, no doubt about that. I also like (...) (22 years ago, 19-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
