I'll alter this to things I'd love to see done in .build.mecha IF time permits and I'll answer some questions at the end.

Brayton, this is just beautiful. I can't wait to see the finished version. I, too, think the knees and elbows need a bit of work, but other than using a sincle plate hinge, I've got no suggestions. -Dave (20 years ago, 12-May-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Oooh pretty. I like the calves, they're just sweet, no justification required. The head and hips also stand out, very clean lines. The only things I would change are the elbow and neck joints.

Oooooh, gundam! Melike! The model is looking pretty good so far! My one suggestion would be to beef up those legs, they seem too slender to me. Otherwise, i can't wait to see this finished! (20 years ago, 12-May-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Inspired by Soren's admonition, I'll try to do a more complete job on this post. I've got a couple of new mechs with "chicken leg" chassis based on the technic click ball joints from the Super Battle Droid set (they're cheap on Ebay these days). The (...)
