|
| | | Hi, This is my first go at a mech of any size. I've done a couple of small ones to 'get the feel' and have been learning a lot from the masters in .mecha. This mech is designed as a general purpose machine useful in any situation from construction (...) (21 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.space) !

| | | | | yes!!! this mech is awesome!! nice job for your "first" mech. those huge hands are my favorite part. it gives the mech the proverbial "superdeformed" anime look. nice arm articulation as well. ahh, if it only had weapons ;]... (...) (21 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | That's a blast! The scaling of it is great...big hands, big feet (which totally rock BTW), big head. A lot of mecha seem to be tall and lithe...this guy bucks the trend and does it well! Very cool. The natural poses are hilarious....the shrug just (...) (21 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | Hey, Cool MOC! The proportions make it look sort of mecha-gorilla-ish to me, which makes it menacing. I love the hands and the articulation. The humorous poses made me grin. Bruce (21 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | Allister, I haven't built any mecha YET (and, boy, I want to!!!), but I know it's not that easy to build them able both to move like that and to express personality so easily.

| | | | | Oh man! I like this Exosuit very much! Positives: The Front canopy is used in a very cool way. I love the arms becaause they look beefy and match the way the feet are made to a degree. The feet are so cool. Those large black slope parts are very (...) (21 years ago, 9-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

First off, the hands make this mecha. They draw my eye on every pic. (...) (21 years ago, 10-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
