My next creation after the Pygmy was going to be something else, but I
really liked Tony's suggestion for a theme for March. Besides, this
thing practically assembled itself! Re-building it in LDraw was another
story, though... I really need a digital camera... :-(

Presenting the "giant" (well, on a microfig scale anyway) old-school
robot, Mazinger L:

That's right, just one small image, but this one was always intended as
a quicky. Besides, I had enough trouble just creating the picture - the
right wing and the "horns" (dinosaur tails) don't exist as LDraw parts
yet, not even as unofficial parts! I had to fake it - mirror the left
wing, cut and paste pictures of the dinosaur tail in, etc. Of course it
looked horribly fake on anything but a small resolution, hence the
current size.

Oh well. I might try again if I get a digital camera, or if the parts
come out for LDraw. Here's hoping you people have better luck with this
month's theme!

Very nifty. You got the old-school look down, my man, nice. Take care, Soren (21 years ago, 3-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
