Hello.

Here is a Fantsy Mecha.  Think Escaflowne.

I have yet to come up with a name for this specific mecha but the gereral
mecha are called war striders.

(In one picture it looks like your mecha is doing batting (...) (22 years ago, 31-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.castle)

(...) The arms and ankles seem a bit skinny, however... like they'd break if another mecha whacked them. I don't recommend 1-wide limbs unless you're building something small. Overall a cool idea and execution. :^) ~Grand Admiral Muffin Head -- (...) (22 years ago, 31-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.castle)

YAY! Unlike Mark, I really like the skinny ankles, I think they add a really neat touch, making the top look strong and tough, pretty cool. I really like the shape of this guy, and his swords absolutely rule! This is definitely one of your best (...) (22 years ago, 2-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.castle)
