Marco, This thing is an absolute beast! It looks like it could take some serious punishment, so much so, that I think it should be classified as a heavy mech at the very least.

Thank you Jon. Drake stands 11,5” tall, so he is definitely still a medium mech by size. But you’re wright concerning armour and weaponery he could be a heavy mech.

   I know you said this is the final refinement, but it looks to me like the lower arms have severe movement limitations as far as vertical movement is concerned.

This is right. I really tried to get more than about 20 degrees up/down movement range, but every approach failed. But I’m still thinking on it. If I succeed I’ll post here. But this would be only a minor change IMHO because it won’t change the overall look.

   That being said, this thing is awesome! Very nice work!
