butt-load of ordinance. i REALLY like your joint ideas. i agree with you
about the ball-and-joint thing--unless you use beau coup friction, it doesn’t
work with the heavy mecha (and you must use it on heavy mecha due to its
size). i am gonna have to steal these ideas (i’ll make sure i give you
credit). now for the dislikes: i’m not too thrilled about the head. it
looks too narrow and “random” for the body. try a little more width imho.
also, you’ve done a much better job with hands in the past than the classic
ones you use here. other than that, this mecha rocks! your weapons ideas
are unmatched and i also really like the feet. welcome back, mladen!

Haha! Good to hear from you too Jason!
I see what you’re saying about the head; the bottom is too thin. I originally
wanted to give the mecha a Stahlhelm-shaped head, but I was getting frustrated with it and gave it up. So
yes, the resulting head is a bit too small and flimsy looking. I will however
defend the fin, because it is an icon which denotes this mecha as ‘special’.
The hands I will defend as well. They are a sturdy and robust design that works.
I absolutely hate flimsy hand designs like Gla-Gla’s (which look way too
cartoonish as well). If I had these  in
dark grey, I would have made hands like I did for the
Sentinel. But I didn’t, so I had to bite the bullet and use the tried & true
Karim Nassar minifig-leg hands.
Anyways, thanks for the reply Jason, and the comments/critiques.
