Great job, it has a lot of personality! It is very kangaroo-like. It does not
appear to be heavily armed though, but maybe equipping it with huge rocket
launchers, missile racks and a railgun would detract from the main theme. Can’t
help but wonder what it would look like packing assault rifles though ;)
Great choice of color too - while one perhaps would choose tan or brown for
this, red does not look too off (like for example blue would have), it still
looks natural, while it is bright enough to make a great eye-catcher. The bright
red color immediately reminded me of anime, along with a lot of other things in
this model - the tail, the nose (well, the entire head, in fact), and in
particular the hips, with the round satellite dishes.
The only thing which doesn’t really do it for me is the feet - I feel they
should perhaps have been tapered, going from 4 at the ankle to 5 or 6 wide at
the toes, but it’s hard to get a good, smooth taper on such long objects. It’s a
minor detail, but the feet left me feeling like a little something was missing.
But apart from that, an excellent, creative idea, executed very well. I mean,
come on, a kangaroo mech - it’s such a simple, yet genius idea I’m amazed no one
has thought of it before. Thanks for sharing!

| Here's my entry for the comp. Thanks for the extension Richie - I almost didn't need it :) I might do another one now. Pardon the lack of backstory, but it's late, I'm tired, and I'm just happy to get the thing finished, so please enjoy the pics. (...)
