Yeah! I’ll say I like it. Cool, here goes my commentary:
*Wicked looking “mechwarrior style” battle mech
*Big beefy weapons
*Looks pretty darn cool
*Tandem Style cockpit
*Engine with folding cowling!
*Simple color scheme is good with yellow interior highights
-Feet are too small
-Body is too small (see my notes below)
-extra leg member in hip seems unneccesary
Let me guess. the body is the size it is because once you started building a
body, you found Stormwalker wanted to fall over on a whim. In an effort to keep
it standing, you lowered the center of gravity by shortening the height of the
body. One way to counteract that “small body” is to enlongate and widen it.
The lack of height is made up in bulk. Especially since you have wide hips
going on there, the narrow body is also emphasized.
Do you find much wobbliness due to the foot size as well? Does a longer foot
improve stabliliity? What is the reasoning for the second member in the hip?
Is one inadequate for hip splay articulation?
Dude, wow. I like it. It’s fun seeing your stuff as it comes out. (also,
consider your risk as to a hippy status is completely removed.) ;)
Build on! (and spotlighted)

| Here is the Stormwalker. (2 URLs) I thought of a heavy assult mech when I started building. As I knew it would become a bit bigger I had to chose light gray/blue color scheme (because of brick amount). Some facts: Its average hight is about 45cm (...)
