Thank you for being critical and voicing your own opinion, and guess what, I
agree with you. The arms are too thin, the hands are too small, the head is
right but the shoulders and especially the lack of covers for the machine guns
makes it look out of proportion.

I do not agree with you here. The shoulders of Gundam Wing ZERO are hollow and
are covered from only 4 of the 6 possible sides, mine are covered from only 2
due to me running out of money and pieces at the same time. All of the limbs
move just like they should, with the exceptions of the wrist joints (or lack
there of). The only problem with them is that for the most part their movement
can not be controlled without worm gears, but that doesn't mean that the joints
are not there.

I am having a hard time understand your logic here. First, if I were concerned
only with the size, I would have made EVA 01. Come on, that thing is as thin
as a skeleton, has a huge horn and towering shoulders and it could easily reach
6 or even 7 feet with the parts I have. In addition, I do not remember making
any remarks hinting that I dislike smaller Gundams or mechs simply because of
their smaller size, I agree with you that it is ridiculous. A good mobile suit
is simply a good mobile suit regardless of its height.

And I thank you for this for it shows that you are taking this quite seriously.
Keep the coments and critics coming, I find them rather enjoyable.
