You know, that's very true. Mladen's suits are a blast. There were few
variants (a firefighting suit....my apologies to the builder for not being
able to recall his name) that were really spectacular.
The manned mini mech (M3?) are a real catchy thing as well. Yours rocks.
John Kornhaus made his premier post with one a few days...his Ranger w/pod.
My mecha skills are poor to say the least, but they look like such fun I'm
willing to give it a shot.
