Hey Kirby, Even with the best camera on the market, photographing all black MOC's will always be a special challenge. However, from what I can see of this one, it rocks! That is by far the best and most unusual and yet totally cool usage of the big (...) (20 years ago, 1-May-05, to lugnet.space)

(...) While I like it (and had to go and investigate the Lowell Sphere which is a rather neat construct), I was a little disappointed it was the new Marvin. Still that leaves room for others to try the old one... Danny (20 years ago, 3-May-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)

Due to the nature of the camera I was using for the first shoot of this MOC, some people were confused as to which end was the front. I chose to do no modifying on this MOC. At the time it was constructed, this was virtualy all the brown pieces I (...) (20 years ago, 3-May-05, to lugnet.space)

Thanks for your time! This little MOC was the result of several tedious hours of trying to build something with my yellow collection at the time. Believe it or not, what you see in this MOC is almost all I had! Around this time, I discovered that I (...) (20 years ago, 2-May-05, to lugnet.space)

Thanks for the honesty! Admittedly, there were a number of failures with this MOC, mostly due to my parts selection at the time (this was built a few years ago). While I did give it a minor facelift with the reshoot, I simply didn't want to rebuild (...) (20 years ago, 2-May-05, to lugnet.space)
