This is really wild stuff Tony.  The amount of research that went into this
project is obvious from the first look at it.  The backstory on the suit and
the technology behind it (I'm assuming that was gleaned in part from that
Popular Mechanics issue you posted about a few weeks back) has produced a
very intelligent and cogent design IMHO.

However, being more of a vehicle freak the SpyderNest takes the cake.  The
combination of a contemporary amphibious crawler design, 'smooshed' with
what to me looks like an anime inspirated texturing and engreeblement has
produced an incredibly 'realistic' design.  The use of SNOT techniques,
angling thru classic hinge joints and 'visable stud reduction' looks just
wild.  I'm a big fan of this one.  One question....those back struts that
look like tapered SW wings....the open boxes at the end...how are they done
and with what elements.

Looking forward to being on DSL and checking out the .mpd

Great stuff.

Cheers,
-Gil

I did ALOT of research on current and future military weaponry and armor for
both of these creations. Each one has quite a detailed and well researched
story. I am anxiously awaiting you comments, corrections, and critisms.

Thank You Gil. You guessed right about the Pop Sci issue! It has sort of been my encyclopedia for my new creations. Most of the info I interpreted and rewrote it in my own style from that great source. I also found several informative websites (...)
