That's so sweet I just got a cavity.  Wow!  I don't typically "Get" Gundam,
but this one rocks.  Your use of slopes and wing pieces are clever -- I'm
grokking the barb-shape on the wing for example, something I'd usually try
to hide but you've used to full potential.  Also, the hands are great --
harking back to Karim's innovative hand design, without being overly
derivative.

One area of this Gundam we're not seeing well is everything below the
waist.  Any chance of seeing ankle articulation on this beast?

Cheers,

Thank you for the praise. What's to get about Gundam? Big robots, big guns,
boom boom, bang bang... About the ankle, it just moves back and forth. The
turn out is provided by the hip joint (ball and socket). So I guess you could
say the ankle isn't very articulate???... That was bad wasn't it...

(...) Heh -- just attach a "me-too from Jeremy" to Mladen's post: (URL) don't dislike Gundam; I just find myself liking perhaps 10% of what Gundam I see... Cheers, - jsproat (24 years ago, 29-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build, lugnet.general)
