(Yeah, I know what you're thinking...what the heck is Jeff thinking,
crossposting to .castle and .build.mecha?  It's not my fault!  *He* made
me do it!  He threatened me with a wrench!  OK, the wrench was ABS plastic
and about an inch long, but still...he kept yelling at me in an almost
incomprehensible pseudo-Germanic accent!)

I've got a few new pics up at my website, of the "Mad Mage Cornelius" and
one of his more successful creations, the "steam powered going and raising
unit".  It's basically a mecha driven by a magically powered steam engine.

Take a look and let me know what you think!  There'll be more pictures of the
device at a later date, but what's up there ought to give you an impression
of what it looks like and how it was constructed.

(Pawel, if you would be so kind as to enter me into the Castle World register,
I'd be much obliged.  For now you can list Dr. Cornelius as my signature
character, although that might change in the future.)

Geez ... I love it! That reminds me of : 1) The iron giant ... 2) Something that the Smurfs would make that would go out of control. Ha ha ... that is so pure and fascinating! A mad inventor ...

Way cool, Jeff! I like your ideas, and there's no better accent for a mad inventor than german ;-) I was LOL throughout the interview! Dear Cornelius: Bai mir, bistu shein, bai mir, ostokhain.... (Just some german/yiddish fun! I performed this song (...) (25 years ago, 7-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Cool. That mech reminds me of an anime compilation called 'Robot Circus' or 'Robot Carnival,' can't remember which. Anyway, in one bit, there's a war in a old-days Japanese city between two giant wooden mechs. One is steam powered, and the (...) (25 years ago, 7-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build.mecha)

Great work Jeff! Excellent model. And the whole idea of this mad Zjerman professor is just brilliantly insane! Hilarious! By the way, are you into Warhammer 40K perhaps? Your robot reminds me a lot of the Ork Dreadnaughts (or any other Orky built (...) (25 years ago, 8-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build.mecha)
