   It’s a good mech (if it weren’t for the legs, I would be forced to call this one “mecha”). I like how clean it looks - very nice indeed. I like the hands; many have used those joints before, but it looks like you put a lot of time in to the design so as to get a realistic represntation of hand articulation. I always love your trademark legs; on this mech they give a centaur feel to it - wait, not a centaur, but the two goat legged creature that played the wood instrument and frolicked throught hte forest...anyway, you get the picture...

Keep up the good work!

That goat critter was Pan.

The hand did go through about five rebuilds for this mech and was the origional inspiration for this mech. (repositioned fingers, shortened overall hand, wrist redesign) I started by fooling with hand designs and wanted a mech to go with it. Of course the hand was big, so.... What I found funny was that I started with the finger hinges, then went to click hinges then back to finger hinges. I think the click hinges were just too spindly for the hands.

Thanks for the reply Chris!
