white deus mecha is fantastic!  i love the exaggerated proportions in the feet
and hands.  honestly, i believe weapons would actually detract from the form
aesthetics, so you don't need them (even though i am a firm believer in weapons
for mecha).  i also really dig the color.  in fact, i plan on building my next
mecha out of white.  the only thing i don't think fits on your model is the
click-hinge wing that covers the front groin area.  other than that, it looks
great!  it also looks a bit too heavy for your typical gla-gla armature.  did
you reinforce the ball joints?  if so, how?  again, excellent job!

Thanks Jason.  I wasn't sure if I should add another major color in there just
to break it up and make it more interesting.  But you like it so I guess it
worked.  I was looking at the click hinge wing groin piece and I think that it
adds a nice contrast to the shoulder wings.  I dunno.  As for the GlaGla
armature...yes it is too heavy to really support more dynamic poses.  The arms
are okay but the pin in the thighs is really loose and he does the splits at a
certain point.  But I can say that the ball joints in the shoulder, hips and
ankles are pretty tight. I didn't even have to reinforce the suckas! :-D

BTW I didn't get a chance to congratulate you on your 00 EVA.  It's the best
I've ever seen.  I especially like the face and the spine and the ...I guess I
just like the whole enchilada!

(...) much aprpeciated, my friend. i think it's my best mecha yet (definately the longest to make), though some might disagree. i would like to build the eva-00 yellow and the eva-02 in the future, but currently i am working on the launch frame. (20 years ago, 11-Feb-04, to lugnet.build.mecha)
