I noticed the on Brickshelf yesterday. It's a cool shape and you didn't over do the red. It does need more "texture" though. The greebles you have are very functional looking, but the rest of the hull needs something. Most movie models have panel (...) (21 years ago, 29-Apr-05, to lugnet.space)

Well, Mark, I did take a few small liberties, but I kept the overall 'feel' of the mech the same. I didn't want to change the shape unless I absolutely had to. I like the 'multiple variations' idea.
