I really like this. Like Kyle, it gave me a lot of valuable inspiration on how to build small things while still maintaining a detailed look. I’ve been trying for some time to build small, but it hasn’t worked out. Obviously, 1*1’s in all flavours are the way to go.

(Yeah, I’m still dreaming of a dropship... but with my small brick supply, it needs to be a small dropship, and small dropships need to carry small mechs...)

The cockpit is awesome, the way it opens up to reveal the pilot is great. The use of the steering wheel as chest armor was very creative, yet again, I got reminded of how flexible LEGO parts can be. Its poseability deserves credit as well, I mean, you even made the feet poseable so it can stand securely in different stances!

My only gripe is that the elbows look a bit weak, with only the 1*2 handle brick and 1*1 clip plate, there’s a big hole in the middle of the elbow, but really, it’s a minor thing.

Thanks for sharing!
