I absolutely love the calves and feet. You’ve got to have clearance for the
ankle to pivot side-to-side, but you were able to recess the pivot axis low
enough so that the front-back click hinge joint isn’t sticking way up. In
fact, you can’t see it from the front-on angle. That’s a nice combo of joint
tech and sculpting. I’m also jealous of the compact cockpit solution. Other
stuff I like--the “GI Joe kung fu grip” elbows, the color scheme (is there
hope for life after blay?), and some of the little exterior greebs visible
from the back.
My suggestions would be to add more armor or details around the reverse-knee
area, though I recognize there may be problems of interference with the range
of motion of the joints. I would have added some slopes, or used slopes
instead of plates in some areas to cut down on the stud count a litte, but
that’s just personal preference.

Yeah you guessed it. Add stuff there and you loose mobility. I think I got an
idea though. If I use the minifig back stud adapters, that shouldn’t interfere
with mobility but may allow me to add some detail. Hmmmm, thanks! I avoided
slopes where possible because of size, they’re just tooo big. (that’s what she
said )

Also, whatever photography techniques you
did to get this pic of Horodris, do more of that, it looks goooood.
|
You got it

And for the love of Mike, bring back the big guns! That’s two unarmed mechs
in a row for you. Are you hanging out with Eric too much?
|
You got that too
Look for the next mech by me. That should put me back on average with the
armament quotent.
