Wow, JHK!! Some very nice models there! My favorite is decidedly the Skystreak, and my favorite picture of that is the second one on the top... Really a great shot, I think. I really like how the two 'arms' on it carry different weapons. I wish I (...) (22 years ago, 19-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

Hey, thanks Mark! Glad you liked the Skystreak. I'm a really big sucker for asymmetry, mostly because I don't have multiples of the same part, or don't want to bother looking for them. Thank's for the compliments, I can't wait for updated renders of (...) (22 years ago, 19-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)

At first I didn't think too much of the mailtruck, but on closer inspection some of its nice features came out. Gotta say I'm not a real fan of the Skystreak though. Might be the colors. Great to see you're makin' some cool bots. This is one of the (...) (22 years ago, 20-Dec-02, to lugnet.space)
