I requested 'mech pics a while back. I didn't get any, but I found
a couple on the net. Hope the artist doesn't mind that I post them
here Have any of you found any other 'mechs?

This I found at the Battletech MUSE. Quite nice. Seems to be a
pretty good MUSE too, but I'm not speaking from experience.

Okay folks, the quality isn't too great, and it looks out of proportion
on some screens (depends on your line spacing). On mine they look great,
but if I use a PC with 24 line screen they look tall and skinny. These
pics were my first real attempts at ASCII art. The Btech group seemed
to think they were nice.
