Get out! First time to do arms, hands, and head? I could have sworn some of your other mecha had them.

My Power Armors did, but they didn’t fit a whole fig. There might be an old one in my b’shelf gallery, but nothing I posted here.
   Anyways, for “firsts” your mecha look quite good. Better than good. In particular the red mecha reminds me somewhat of Karim Nassar’s Panther. Way cool! :-D
I went back and looked at the Panther through your link. I hadn’t seen it in a long time, but I see I really emulated a lot of the style without realizing it. Karim has spiffed-up his site since I was there last.
  
I think they look great and have all the requisites to make them “Wanzer”-style mecha, except for the scale. They just seem too compressed. I almost want to see them with longer appendages. However, it is still amazing that you got to fit them into that dropship. Well done.

Thanks, I kind of like doing the compressed scale, but it does restrict movement to some extent.

  
  
I’ll acknowledge that the color schemes aren’t as tight as I’d like, due to parts availability, but otherwise I’m happy with how these turned out.

On the contrary, I think your colour schemes this time around are far more focused and realistic. This is something I struggle with all the time; whether to go for a very rigid, clean tripartite colour scheme, or for a more realistic but chaotic, varied colour scheme. I think you struck a nice balance, especially with the grey mecha.

Glad you liked the gray/tan/rust color scheme. I really wanted to try using the rust color somehow. I had to add the black due to parts necessity, which is what bothered me.

   Great job overall!

Thanks, Mladen!
