Stuart, It was a pleasure putting this one together at BricksWest. I loved the way you packed her in foam that was cut out to the proper shape. I felt like I was opening a toy package. The one thing that struck me more than anything is the way that (...) (22 years ago, 2-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Wow, E! I didn't expect a treatise on Lego mecha, but you so obviously know your stuff... I have to say that I am so pleased to have participated (even via long-distance) in the Mecha display at BW03-- I couldn't have done it without you, and of (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Man, that is pretty cool! I gotta say, my favorite thing about this mecha is the foot design - brilliant! If I have to criticize anything, my one critique would be that you used the SW click hinges for the knees, unlike the compact worm design for (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Shris, I was disappointed that I couldn't make it out for BW03, but when I found out that you weren't going to show, I was really bummed. But I'll get to pick your considerable brain at a date in the future, no doubt. As to the click hinges.... yeah (...) (22 years ago, 7-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
