Very cool! And a brand-new mini-hip design too! When I first looked at it,
I thought, “why didn’t he taper the waist down more”, but then I saw you had
a minifig pilot in that torso! Some parts are a little too thin for my
taste, but that’s just a personal preference. Very impressive!

Yeah the upper arms and upper legs are thin, but that’s deliberate.
I’ve got a theory about mecha proportions: It doesn’t matter how much you
exaggerate the scale of the various parts, but as long as the arms are in
proportion to the legs, and the hands are in proportion to the feet you can get
away with it. Eg, if you make the legs thick and stumpy, do the same with the
arms, if you make the hands overly large, do the same with the feet, and so on.
Cheers,
