(...) I really like how that turned out, especially given the minimal pieces. Your design is ingenious enough it makes it look like the set was designed for this possibility. Very nice. - Kenn (22 years ago, 20-Feb-03, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Thanks! (...) Yeah, I hear you. I think the arms are a tad thin in places, used some bits to help beef it up. But it makes for a T-rex sort of effect. Big honking legs and body, little head and wirey arms. Mark (22 years ago, 20-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.starwars)

That is sweet! it has an awesome mech-monster feel to it, like a rabid dog with it's two front legs cut off! The rocket pack on the back is very nice.

How about seeing some more of those smaller mecha from you, like that truck squad you came up with a while ago? Later! Chris (22 years ago, 19-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.starwars)

Yes, his AT-AT is MOST impressive. To be fair(biased more likely). I preferred his AT-AT to yours(Shaun) and Dave's(Eaton???). I make this claim as I was at Brikfest last year and had the opportunity to see firsthand your guys' Echo/AT-AT display. I (...) (22 years ago, 19-Feb-03, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug, lugnet.starwars)
