Hey Paul, Really great stuff! I was jsut posting some new stuff myself and I saw the "Mako" and thought; Oh, jeez, I have to compete with that! Love the top with all the little greeblies! Also, where do you get all that Sand Green? Well, (...) (22 years ago, 10-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

Dude. DUDE. I'm sorry all, but I can't critique this. I think I'll head back to .mecha where I belong (sort of). I can feel my ego shriveling... Take care, Soren (22 years ago, 10-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

Wow... amazing work Paul. You've really accomplished something with that cockpit. Its almost identical to something I was trying on my own MOC, but couldn't figure out how to do it. (Now if I just had all those great parts...) ;] I think there's one (...) (22 years ago, 11-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

Paul, I remember your teaser post. I get a strong Anime vibe from this ship. Was that intentional? Beautiful proportions and a very military-styled color scheme that's a perfect fit. Superb! Dave "Paul Hartzog" <panarchy23@yahoo.com> wrote in (...) (22 years ago, 11-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

Paul, Just letting ya know when I click on the text link I get Warning errors. Luckily I was able to use the image link and see this awesome ship. I need to go back and look at it some more. Really cool! Mark M. (22 years ago, 11-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

Now that I've had a chance to look at the detail, I am even more impressed. Wow, you really hit the mark on John's design. You were even able to match the colors. Even though you were going for form over function it looks like you had the function (...) (22 years ago, 11-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) It looks beautiful, Paul. I would have preferred a completely original design, but that's just me. One itsy-bitsy minor thing, I can't help thinking that those grey katanas on the front look wrong. I just don't think it needs them, and their (...) (22 years ago, 12-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

Oh my..., oh dear! Paul, this fighter is just fantastic! (bowing low...) It looks like one could use it as a model for a Sci-Fi movie. I especially love those side-mounted gun-wings with the round black struts in the middle: looks very technical. I (...) (22 years ago, 12-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

Like I was saying before Paul, I don't know what kind of crazy brain tonic you were guzzling during your hiatus, but if it results in art like this, keep swigging sir! Seriously...just beautiful. Many of the wonderful aspects of this baby have (...) (22 years ago, 12-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

Just a quick note, although i was inspired by john's design and by the one that inspired him (see the website for details) i didn't try to copy his design humourously, once i was done, john said that he likes mine better. rofl. :-) -paul (...) (22 years ago, 12-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

Paul- I AGREE: "Totally Bauhaus-cool." (Actually didn't know many people here were familiar with the pedagogy of Bauhaus, but then again I have not been the most avid post reader.) Well, when I saw the teaser pick I was stunned. The Mako is a (...) (22 years ago, 13-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

Sweet! I like this. I think it's the best use of sand green I've seen on a MOC. Great job using a color with very limited part selection and turning it into a model that rocks! --Dan (22 years ago, 13-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

Oh, wow. That's great. The shape is so cool, and the green produces a really novel effect. I really love the contrasting smooth/greeblie surfaces. Very nice. I would have to agree with Paul, however, about the swords sticking out the front. Also, I (...) (22 years ago, 13-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Ah, it was well worth the wait. The detail is unbelievable. So is that old safe just cargo, dug up from a top-secret archaeological dig? Or does the pilot actually keep his money in there? ;) Jeff J (22 years ago, 13-Mar-03, to lugnet.space)
