Hi Everyone, My wife was FINALLY able to check out the digital camera from work, so I was able to photograph all the things I've built over the last three weeks.

(...) ArrrrGH! That's the only awful thing...the thumbnails look fine, they're enticing, they make me drool, but the full-size .jpgs lose most of the great detail. :( How about if I mail you my camera, you can take macro shots with it...I want to (...)

Perhaps you could keep these creatures built long enough to take traditional photos of them. (...) (25 years ago, 17-May-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)

The Osprey and Angel kick butt also. Actually, the Osprey kicks butt, and I guess the Angel heals butts kicked thusly. :-, Great VTOL design. Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 17-May-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)

Aw, jeez... thanks for the compliments. I don't know if I'll do that... perhaps. Maybe I'll buy a roll of film this week and try regular photos, though the only camera I own is a crappy point-and-shoot, so it may not take close-ups any better. I'll (...)

Hehe! I like the HOMER tag, Sproat. The Helldog was fun. The head was influenced by the Zaku from Gundam. I even put a couple technic gears inside with a li'l lever on his back so you could move the optical sensor around. ~M (...) (25 years ago, 17-May-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)

Heh. When I built the Helldog I was thinking,"wow, Mladen is going to love this." I borrowed the torso design from a Front Mission 3 mecha, and the head is inspired by the Gundam Zaku... everything else I just built 'cuz it felt right. Yesterday I (...)
