| Greetings! I know I said I'd eventually make a mech. Well, I finally did it... (URL) (21 years ago, 5-Oct-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space) !

| (...) *whistles* Wow. Your canopy design works out to be both effective and very unique...and the missile launcher looks better than anything else I've seen. The lack of studs makes it very sleek looking..although it seems a bit top-heavy. I've (...) (21 years ago, 5-Oct-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) I like the clean look of the legs. The missile launchers rock, and dig that butt cannon. Nobody can sneak up on you. I think the sides of the cockpit can use just a little something, but it's really a minor thing. Sweet. -Grand Admiral (URL) (21 years ago, 6-Oct-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) Oh wow, this is really cool. I rarely comment on mecha MOCs, but this is sure classy looking. Looks like the kind of toys I didn't have growing up, but all the neighbors did (I stuck to LEGO) :-) -Tim (21 years ago, 6-Oct-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) Dan, Gee, thanks a lot! Now I have to go change myself...I wish you wouldn't sneak up on us and dump "da bombs" like this on us! Seriously though, half of it is the presentation, and your presentation rocks. The other half is a killer mech! I (...) (21 years ago, 6-Oct-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) This is a wonderful build, Dan. It's just so...clean. The slightly pumped up scale of it is excellent as well. I especially like the colour/detailing of the lower legs...it's almost like an x-wing-ish motiff. Great stuff. Cheers, -Gil (21 years ago, 6-Oct-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| WOOT!! That is awesome, I was planning to build something similar in concept myself. BTW Do you play CAV and Do you know a Sayfe Jassim? oz (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) Yeah, helps with bringing up the rear ;) (...) Originally, I had put some swivel guns on the sides but it was looking too much like the AT-ST. --Dan (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) Thanks! :) (...) The trim color is a carry over from my space building. I started this model with the cockpit. So right away I added the red trim there and I just kept it going. It sure does have an X-Wing look to it. --Dan (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
| | | | | Re: First mech

| (...) Great job Dan. There's like what, nine studs visible? I dig the tandem cockpit. The body seems a bit small to me and the hips a tad big. Great job on the leg tech, I love to see others do a reverse knee. This looks like a light or scout type (...) (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| You have entered the world of mech in a big way. Excellent work, Dan. I am envious of and inspired by such masterful building. Pat Bunn (21 years ago, 9-Oct-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) Great looking Mech, Dan! I love the use of the UCS X-wing canopy, and the guns are great. I like the legs and feet also -nice and rounded. Great first mech. -mark (21 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) My favorite thing about this mech is that it's "Jassim Style"--which is a good thing, by the way! Seriously, the distinctive look of this mech is awesome; If someone showed me a picture of it and asked me who made it (uh, before I knew who (...) (21 years ago, 11-Oct-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I wanted to incorporate some level of realism so it would look more futuristic than fantastic (though I (...) (21 years ago, 12-Oct-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
