The Brickshelf gallery once it becomes moderated:

A couple of goals I had with this model:
- Create a mecha that looked tank-ish in nature (I got inspiration from the
French Leclerc, the German Leopard 1 & 2, and a bit from the American Abrams
M1A2).
- Make the pilot cockpit/cabin blue, completely blue (because in real life
the interior colours of a vehicle are not always the same as the exterior).
- Make weapon systems that can be actually taken off of the mecha, for
inspection, reloading, repairs, etc. Makes sense, eh?
- Allow it to stand on a slippery surface and not fall (I already did this
for my MDP last year, but I wanted to do it again).
Well those were some of my motivations/guidelines for this particular mobile
platform. I hope they better explain some of the things pertaining to the model.
Enjoy!
Mladen Pejic, over and out!

| Wow, that is very cool, Mladen! Good to see a new mech from you. The legs look really nice- the detailing and greeblies on them work well.

| Rockin' model Mladen! IMHO, this is one of your best multiped machines yet. Well worth the wait. I especially like the overall chunkiness of the turret. (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
