Compared to the legs the body core (not the wings) is plain, almost too
plain. Not boxy, just flat when compared to the depth and texture of the
legs.

As usual, you’re right on the mark, MARK! ;-)
The thing is, as much as I love SNOT, I don’t use it for everything,
especially when building something as simple a wall. Guess I should have used
it more though, to give the siding not just more texture, but more shape and
as you say create “depth”.

See, I can’t agree. I love SNOT too (I can never get over the urge to go “ew”
to that) but the military plain-ness really helps in this case. It gives the
platform a sense of “edifice” or “fortification”; add that to the curvature at
the nose and you’ve got the mental image of a walking castle-cum-siege-machine.
Sometimes, it’s better (and more daring) to be plain, because it often works and
highlights even more the areas that are cleverly constructed or detailed. I
believe this is one of those times.
But then, I’m Just Some Internet Guy™, so what do I know?

PS: I agree, the rising cockpit seat is fantastic. Can you install a shock in
there, so you can eject the pilot? ;)
