Re: Alternative Monster Mech

John,

The feet fit snug into a standard hex (purpose made for it I would say)
and 
it feels about the right size. Compared to the new 100ton mechs from IWM
it 
is small.   When I get chance I will take a picture of the parts next to
an 
old Stinger and a Battlemaster.

Regards
R
