| This is an early design mecha that was developed before a stable walking system was devised. This one is still in use, many years after the majority of those of a similar vintage were scrapped. It is employed as a spaceport support vehicle on far (...) (21 years ago, 2-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| Very nice mecha! The colors, the shapes, the back-engineering... this could almost be considered PCS, couldn't it? I really like the fingers on the right hand, and I'm impressed with your solution to the outer tread cover... well done indeed. Its (...) (21 years ago, 2-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Nice background info and really nice model! I really like the tread configuration..it took me a moment to figure out how you did it, and another moment to bang my head on the desk asking, "Why didn't I think of that??" Way cool stuff to look (...) (21 years ago, 2-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

The slanted cockpit, the tool shed on the back, the tanks on the (...) (21 years ago, 2-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Excellent job of the tread system - I think that this is the first time I have (...) (21 years ago, 2-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Kind of like that robot from the "Lost In Space" remake but arbitrarily, uhh, sweeter. I think we're in danger of becoming diabetic. (...) (21 years ago, 3-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

The treads were originally going to be the feet on some stumpy legs, but it proved to be too fragile and the whole thing had to become more simple and utilitarian - to it's benefit I believe. BTW, the tanks are mounted on the torso, (...) (21 years ago, 3-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Gil Shaw did a (URL) nice one>, and surely you can't have forgotten my (URL) Moonbase Bus> ;) I like that hand design too, but it's time to think up a new one for the next mech. (...)

You've gone a long way, since you first posted here. Wish I could say the (...) (21 years ago, 4-Oct-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
