Hey Mark,
thanks for your feedback.

comic book or video game. Fun.

First I had the idea that a heavy mecha should have some escort. The next
thought that came to my mind was “How small can a geared mech be?”. So I gave it
a try...

Ankle joints, looks it’s kind of awkward to see big honking legs with two
skinny attachments to the ankle. You covered up everything else, I think
you’d benefit from trying to disguise that too.
|
Did you think of something like this?
I felt that there was somthing wrong with the ankles. But I didn’t get it.

You built in an engine... I think I love you.
|
Well you need one, otherwise it won’t walk!
I’m always thinking of a fusion reactor producing the electricity to run those
big hydraulic pumps for all the movment.

The body is so small to the legs. But it looks ok. you might fool with a
bigger body and see where that takes you. Maybe start off by doing something
different for the cockpit?
|
Well when I had started with the redesign of the ankles I tried a new cockpit
too:
Now I’m thinking on a new body. Could be wide enough to hang those guns near the
legs? We’ll see...
Thanks again for your comments. They made me think in different ways...
Marco
