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.

Indeed, jason, mecha is a mighty challenge! The click-hinges are great, but
not the kind I used, since those ball/socket rotation ones give you a lot of
odd-stud length building requirements. I want to try the flourescent
highlights again. I figure I just need to make their placement more
purposeful and organic looking.
The "claws" were one of my favorite things too!
Thanks for the kind words!
