Yup - Since my wife will be building this, she will be thinking more
of "building a female robot".

The Queadlunn-Rau armor, while designated as female armor, doesn't look
female or make you think of the female form.

But I'm a Macross geek, so I knew what you were talking about ;^)

Well, maybe... Maybe I'm biased because I think of the Queadlunn-Rau I
associate it with the female pilots, but when you see it move, it is • definitely
female, IMHO.  And when compared to the male Zentraedi mecha, it seems to me • to
be very anthorpomorphicaly female... buxom, narrow shoulders, wide hips, long
legs... I think the thing is that it has a definitive "alien" design aesthetic
that gets in the way of its femininity ;-)


Good point about physically having some female characteristics...

I believe it's not easy to build a good "female form" for Mecha out of Lego
due to the curvature shape -- without making the scale large.
