   Well, that’s it for now, any feedback would be kindly appreciated!

Frank, your stuff just keeps getting better! I know nothing about the Front Mission game, but I have a couple of Front Mission II figurines. I found them at a comic book store on a clearance table, and I have them standing in my building area for inspiration--they lend themselves well to rendering in Lego.

I likewise spotted Sugegasa’s stuff on Brickshelf, but I like your bulkier rendering of the design better, and a very trick hip joint! I still haven’t figured out the ankle.

Other stuff I liked:

-very space-efficient cockpit solution

-the shaping you did on the chest/head area

-the big baton--reminded me of when the Simpsons had a family therapy session with those foam-rubber bats

-the missle packs, of course ;)

Suggestions:

-I think it might help the proportions if you could add some height by extending the calves.

-I know the Front Mission mechs have hands, but I think a version of this mech with much shorter upper arms and cannons in place of the lower arms would look sweet, especially since you have the head/chest area working so well.

Thanks for posting.
