Nicely done Allister. You stay true to your word. I like that. :-)

I think you did an excellent job overall. In fact, some of the things, like the Technic leg joints look like an improvement over my almost fanatical use of click-joints. I’m sad to hear that it’s flimsy though...

What you should have done was to make the legs much more vertical. This is the ONLY way to make large, stable MPs. This is one of the reasons I gave up on the spider-style legs. The other reason is because I think the “steeply angled”-legs make MPs look more vicious and present a smaller, narrower target.

My only real criticism is the turret on top. It looks slapped on and further ruins the sleekness I would try to achieve in my MPs. It sorta made me think of the following...

Your MP is like a KV2.

My MPs are T34s.

And the KV-2 was one tough nut to crack (it had ~100mm armour, a tough nut even for the 88s), so don’t think I’m insulting you. :-)

Keep up the good work Allister.

As threatened around 2 months ago in (URL) this post>, I finally present my newest mech, the MAAP-210. (URL) This is my attempt at building something in Mladen's favoured style.
