     Check out the "Juggernaut" Medium Assault Mecha-

Hey, that's a clean design.  I like your use of the new joints; I wonder,
though, how stable it is.  I bought the Titan XP and built the main mecha; it is
way too large for those joints, IMO.  Your mecha is a little smaller, and not so
bulky.  I suspect it's more stable than the Titan XP...

It might be a bit more stable due to its smaller stature but probably not much.
BTW, athough I have'nt bought the Titan XP, from looking at the pics that I've
seen so far, it likely owes what stability it has to the built-in "limiters"
behind the knees and the hinges placed rather oddly in the middle of the calves.

Your mecha always have impressed me, ever since your shock troopers.  I don't
think I've ever had the opportunity to comment on your creations, so I thought I
would delurk and say job well done, on this mecha, and your past ones, as well!

Later, Chris

Thanks Chris. I really dig your mecha too- especially your "Andromeda" and
"Cepheus" models.

Later,
Todd
