   It definetly does have a light feel to it
oh! excellent! I though that it might have ended up too chunky.

   Though you might want to beef up the interior so it would look like a fig could fit inside or make it like a remote controled mecha via neural helmet(unless thats what you were going for).
remote controlled via neural helmet... yeeeeah, why not, that’s what I was after... ;) No, you’re right; I would have liked to make the torso a bit larger, but for two reasons I didn’t: worried about the ability of the legs to support it (see below) and the way I made the torso means I’ve only got two studs near the waist to attach the torso armour too. Although I could have tried something more clever with the angled shoulder technic connectors....

   I dont see what you mean by weak joints however, unless its the axles constantly popping out of the balls. Other than that I think its actually more sturdy than the V-Siren.
The axles do pop out occasionally. But mainly, it’s the knees: a single click hinge, and it can be a trial posing it in anything other than upright standing. The V-Siren has those lovely huge round disk hingy things at the knees. Also, The feet have a tiny area of contact with the ground so they don’t always provide enough friction to keep a more ‘splayed-leg’ pose up.

   Build more mecha.
If you insist. Thanks for your reply!

Hey Matt. I dig what you mean by architectural. Something about those arches. It definetly does have a light feel to it and I like the colors. This gives me the impression its like a rich man's decoration mecha that he shows off to guests in the (...) (18 years ago, 29-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
