Hey all,

After my first foray into mech building (you can view the mixed results
below) I must say I have much more respect for mech builders than ever
before!  Mechs are hard!  They are demanding, uncompromising, dictators of
exactness!  I'll get 'em, just you wait!

LMKWYT!

ah,welcome to mecha bliss!  now that you are aware of the intricacies of
mecha-building, you can now see the lure of it.  the whole idea is to refine
your skills, with each passing creation, until you reach a point where moc's
take on a life and style of their own.  i'm still working on that as we speak.
now on to your moc:   first of all, the flourescent highlights are a very orginal and creative idea.  they look cool, especially next to that black light.  however, at the same time they detract from the overall design of your mecha.  i see you went with the new click hinges.  those are excellent for larger mecha.  i really like the squatting pose, but your mecha still seems very rigid.  the hardest thing to get right on a mecha are the proportions.  you have done well in that area for your first time.  i also dig the "claws" on the feet.
overall, you did a fine job for your first mecha.  keep it up, and do a lot of
research to improve your skills.
