hey, nice job on your mech!  got the reversed knee going.  i'm starting to
become a bigger fan of that genre.  really dig that quad cannon--it looks
like it could take out a tank or two!  nice use of the large radar dish for
a shield, too.  you should go back and take pics of of the cockpit lowering
to let the driver out.  i think that's a very creative idea.  is this your

on brickshelf.  how's the posability of the legs?  that's really hard to
accomplish with reverse knees.  i struggled with that on rotgeist.

Oh, I forgot to photograph it, but the nose tips down to let the pilot exit.
This was the main feature on the other mech that inspired me.  If you have
any comments or suggestions, or if you built that other mech, PLMKWYT!

Actually, posability is limited to x- and y-axix movement. However, the thing can pose in the following positions: crouching, jumping, walking/running, Jump-Jetting, squishing cars. I especially like that last one! i was going to make the legs a (...) (21 years ago, 8-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)
