man, i've been wondering when your next mecha will grace the scene again.
you have truly mastered the mobile platform, especially in this latest
model. the fact that it is huge really impresses me because of all the
detail you can put into something that large. my favorite part: the
weapons, of course (cannons, rockets, mini cannons), although the infrared
camera (?) in the front is a very nice touch. i must say that your z-22 is
still my favorite, though all your models make my jaw drop. keep up the
great work!

| (...) Heh, I dunno about "mastered", but I sure do like building 'em! Anyways, thanks for the kind comments Jason! And, yes the black box mounted on a turret up front is filled with cameras. ;-) I gotta agree with you about the Z-22 too; it is (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
