I used a lot of new construction techniques for this evil, corrupted version of
Giant Robo. It's an anti-robo robo, a Monstrobo. It was all about rounded shapes

Like the shoulders?  WOW!

and gigantic concealed weapons - so giant that it looks like they couldn't
possibly be concealed, and yet are.

Very, very sweet.  I particuarily appreciate how the doors close once weapons
are deployed on the back pods.  The main gun looks seamless once all the way
deployed.  Too bad that front panel can't get stored inside eh?  What kind of
sliding mechanism is there on the main chest gun.  How strong is all the
movement, floppy any of it?

This robot is so large it has its own zip code (and so it has mailboxes at the
back of its feet).

Is that where we send the fan mail?

Brian, this has all the trademarks of your work.  Seamless plate work, the face
is fantastic.  The curves you got in addition to the simulation of curve by
plate work is spot on.  You mention "a lot of new construction techniques"  Like
what?

I know there isn't a lot of room for movement on big stuff but what of the
articulation?  Is there another pose than standing?  How much arm movement do
you get out of GR-Destroyer?  Wobbly?

Woof woof.  It is always fun to see your work man.  Woof.
