Anyway, hope you like it. Comments and criticism welcome!

?Cha! Is there any doubt I would? Rock on Tim, way to come out with a bang!

You got a great mechwarrior feel here. The colors are good and the scheme of it feels goooooooood. I kind of feel the radar dish inbetween the missle racks is a little corny, but that’s me. The size of weapons to mech is kind of funny too. Almost cartoony. (big huge honking missle racks, little barrels and huge ammo drum (though I can understand it), skinny arm mounts to larger weapons on arms. I thought the body and hips were really well done. The mulit color grills/housings on missle launchers were well done. Legs, tres cool, even if the feet are a little flat. I did like the use of the tubing on the cannon. Nice touch! Though if you added just a bit of greebling here and there, this MOC would rock that much more. I am particuarily fond of your ankle to foot solution. Way to go.

Looks like a fun model and fairly playable if I don’t miss my guess. I’m getting excited, two awesome mechwarrior chicken walker mechs in as many days! Rock on man! Spotlighted.
