I’m not completely happy with it yet. The arms look like they were thrown together in 15 minutes......which they were. It is also nearly impossible to get the thing to stand up. The ankles are pretty weak. I’ll probably copy Glagla’s Dancougar ankle since I copied the rest of the joints in the leg from it in the first place. The head is articulated and moves up, down, and turns. Overall posability suffers just because it is so top heavy.

I hope to have some decent pictures up soon.

Here’s the folder.

I’d appreciate any and all comments/criticism.

Well, this is definately one of the better gundam models i have seen. I really like torso and all the crazy angles you included in it, as well as the beautiful studless design. The hips and legs are downright awesome. As a person who generally can’t build legs, i think i am going to have to steal some of your designs on this model :D My only gripe is that they seem just a bit too long for the body.

The arms look pretty good, considering they were thrown together in fifteen minutes, but i must agree on the hands, they just seem to small and fragile for this mech.

All in all, an excellent build. I can’t wait to see what comes next!
