Yo, This is Shogun.

Whoah. I’ll let the other guys discuss the technical wizardry, for me Shogun is all about the art. I’m likin’ the transition from the upper to the lower knee, with the overhangs on either end. The compact hip and waist design allows you to bring the shoulder mounts further in, which apparently saves you enough weight to allow for the bigger arms. Put it all together, and the proportions are excellent. Just excellent.

The color groupings appear tighter, and the detailing is more thorough than I recall seeing from you before. I see the early toes didn’t make the final cut, but compared with the rest of the mech, I think the new ones are a better size.

And the weapons! The rifle is awesome. I halfway suspect you built that first, and then you were stuck with the task of building a mech large enough to hold it. Love the shoulder missile launchers, too. Worth the weight.

Great mech, Mark!
