Hi All,
I’ve just completed a new mecha. I started this some weeks ago with nothing more
in mind than a desire to Build Something Using Green. The first two attempts
were ok, but kinda goofy looking (photos available on request), but I’m pretty
happy with the third.
I was going to enter this in the Civilian Contest in the otherwise empty Mecha
category, but I got stumped on the legs (which ended up being stumpy) and didn’t
get it finished in time. Such is life.
I can never thing of names for these things, so I’m open to suggestions.
plmkwyt.
Cheers,
Allister
still no sig
PS. ‘bout time we had a mecha building contest isn’t it?
