Mladen,
This is another absolute triumph in 'mech design, no doubt about it.
I agree with everyone on the joy of the details--the sensor pod/mast,
the measured utilitarian "ugliness" that screams of military function,
and all the attention put into both greeblies and the elimination of
visible studwork on the exterior.
My favorite details have to be the color balance, the "toes," and that
adorable (!!) chin gun, though. The combination of aesthetic and
function just keeps me looking again and again. It's so clearly stable,
massive, and functional that it adds to the beauty of the critter.
A couple of questions:
I noticed you had one shot with the cockpit roof taken off; is that
designed to be removeable, or was it a partial disassembly for the
purposes of photography?
Are the turrets on the nose segment (the four vertically traversing
ones and that spiffy little chin model) simply on Technic friction,
or (as I hope!) mounted with 2x2x2 click socket blocks and pin plates?
I just get the impression that everything which moves gives a nice,
satisfying "click," is all.
Whatever you decide to turn your attentions to next will no doubt be
another step forward--I look forward to seeing it, and until then,
I'll just drool all over my monitor until then.
best
LFB
