Here’s my first attempt:

And I’ve got a rear view.

Please be blunt with feedback- I don’t have much experience building mecha and would welcome anything (whether I use it or not).

Hi Tony,

This is a good start and your upper torso is quite good overall but your legs are waaay to skinny. My major suggestion would be to fatten them up. After fattening the legs you might also want to make the waist a bit bigger but see how it looks first.

Hi Tony,

that’s a good start. You captured the overall shape quite well.

The upper body looks really good, but is too bulky compared to the legs.
I would agree to Timothys suggestion to fatten them a bit.

The T-piece joint is not really capeable the load given by the upper
body, IMHO. You should try to turn the orientation of the T. Use the single
pin for the rotational movement and the double pin for up/down. This should
also help to get the legs a bit fatter.

Keep building
Marco
