Hi, About the mecha, I concur with Eric, that the greebling really shows off this mecha.

Nice. The Bley/Grey look works well on a mech. It gives it that metallic utilitarian look. This mech says it means business - and is design for close range destruction (with the large heavy weight arms - good for smashing), while having serious (...) (19 years ago, 9-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)
