Man, it seems so many people are having trouble with signing in. Anyways . . . Beautiful work Eric. What I like about your work are the details. Details that you can sit and observe for minutes if not hours. This mech is no exception. I've always (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build.sculpture)

Eric, Like Chris, I thought you were headed in a completely different direction when I first saw the GG mech. I'm glad I was wrong! What's you've done with Gomgile simply has NO comparison in the mech world. Gomgile stands on it's own. So I have to (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build.sculpture)

It's finally done! WOW! Truly stunning! The amount of parts used in this model probably rivals that of many collections. The detail level is also quite high, and many parts are very nicely contoured. New elements are used wonderfully as well. Here's (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build.sculpture)

Congrats. It's nice to see the big guy done. Simply, well, woof. I gotta know, what kind of stresses are on this beast? I've found that the bigger I go, I think I'm pushing the limits of Lego shearing factors. How heavy is it? How transportable? (...)
