    First mech —Daniel Jassim
   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) ! 
   
        Re: First mech —Jonathan Mizner
     (...) *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)
   
        Re: First mech —Mark Sandlin
     (...) 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)
    
         Re: First mech —Daniel Jassim
     (...) 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)
   
        Re: First mech —Tim Courtney
     (...) 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)
   
        Re: First mech —Trevor Pruden
     (...) 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)
    
         Re: First mech —Daniel Jassim
     (...) Float like a Butterfinger, stink like a bean! (well, something like that...) (...) Thanks, Trev :) (...) Yeah, I guess I went a little big on the legs. I did try to approach things from a technical sense and in terms of the same principles of (...) (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
   
        Re: First mech —Anne Carasik
     Wow. Very cool.

        Re: First mech —Gil Shaw
     (...) 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)
    
         Re: First mech —Daniel Jassim
     (...) 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 —Aiyaz Hussain
     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)
   
        Re: First mech —Mark Neumann
     (...) 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)
   
        Re: First mech —Patrick Bunn
     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)
   
        Re: First mech —Mark Rideout
     (...) 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)
   
        Re: First mech —Derek Schin
     (...) 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 (...)

         Re: First mech —Daniel Jassim
     (...) Thanks, Derek! (...) I'm afraid the Star Shuttle is no more :( (...) Thanks again, D. That was exactly my approach in building this thing. 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)
