I dig on that head! I LOVE the boat hull for the back of it. That is really
creative. It took me a little bit to even figure out what you were using. I
like the feet and the apron armor on the sides of the Gundam. Both look
solid and well formed.
Your Gundam is probably more than 8lbs. My "Q" mech was closer to 16 lbs
and yours is much taller.
I have a few questions:
Does the Gundam stand up well? I mean do you have to balance it carefully or
can you just kind of stand it up without too much fiddling?
You mention the older friction pegs. How are you using these? Specifically
are the pegs in all of your joints?
How does the head turn?
Do the knees bend? Do the legs "turn out" or are they "locked in" at the
angle in the photos?
Are the legs and torso hollow?
Overall very impressive scale. I know from experiance that it's hard to work
that large. Kudos.
