As for the result, IMO...

Good:
I really like the head and the upper body. The back pack is also quite good.
It is quite posable, with double hinged fingers and knees, but...
It’s big, and is quite a presence at he show.

This thing is friggin’ awesome Ka-On. There’s so much SNOT hanging off it I feel a sinus cold coming on just looking at it. :) Seriously though, the SNOT work is phenomenal. The head is a masterpiece.

   Bad:
The scale is quite off in some area, especially the lower body. The legs are too far apart, limited by the technic click hinges. The legs should be longer and thicker. The head and the chest looks too big due to the legs. I already try tweaking it but didn’t work out too well
It’s too big, hence heavy. The click hinges are too weak for the weight. Even without the back pack it will fall without the stand. The arms can only hold a few angles when carrying the shield and the beam rifle.
I added a cockpit since there is room, but it is totally off scale.
I wish I can use dark gray on the body instead of black.
No Armor Schnieder. Not enough room for it.

Hmm, I see what you mean about the legs, although only because you blatently pointed it out yourself. It still looks awesome.

   From the Hobby Show:
Some fans recognized it right away. Well Gundam Seed is currently running on YTV so that is expected.
Heard many parents said: “Look, a transformer!”... ^_^;;

LOL, that’s too funny. I distinctly heard someone say it was the best LEGO model they had ever seen.

  
Well next time I think I will try a smaller scale, or have a better scale plan. LMKWYT

Looking forward to the next one!
