Great work Tim! It looks very faithful to the original, especially with regard to the details.

The only problem is that it’s a bit too big. I can understand this is due to the level of detail you wanted to show... BUT I’m thinking, why constrain yourself to scale in the first place? Why not build it as big as necessary to make it even closer to the original?

I say this only because the legs look a bit chunky and blocky... What if you used those new curved slopes and wedges on the legs to make them more curvaceous? If they end up scaling up the entire mecha, who cares?... You can always go for a maxi-fig, UCS scale! :-D

LOL, anyways, maybe I’m just too excited with being able to post again, and rambling on.

Good stuff. Keep it up!

First off, thanks everyone for your comments. This has been a long time in the works and I’m glad people like it.

The size... well... I was trying to build it to fig scale. I actually realised last night that it had ended up too big when I noticed it should sit much lower over the car. With this realisation I may have to have a go at shrinking the whole thing. Hopefully won’t be too hard (but probably will).

Glad you can post again.

Tim
