   Hello everyone. Please check out my Brickshelf Gallery updates.
I would like to hear your comments about them, specially how they
can be improved.

Finally!

I’m so happy to see you’re still working on your hard-suits, David. :-)

Thanks MP. Well I have been working on several MOCs but the time I have to
finalize or refine them is lacking. You see here 2 that I decided to share
with everyone and maybe get some advice.

Power Armor PA004Cx1:

I definitely love PA005 but I always hoped to make the smallest PA possible.
The legs are what inspired me to upgrade the PA004 line and design a new PA
type perhaps...
  
It’s just so DYNAMIC! I also have to say that your photography is getting
better and better. :-D
Thanks! That is another thing I have been working on as well. Testing
different lighting and settings on my old Sony Cybershot.
  
The only thing you could improve on are the arms. I’ve seen you use those
   for a long time, and I think they could benefit from a re-design. I’ve
never been to big on that design anyhow; it’s kinda flimsy looking. :-(
The arms have been troubling me for quite some time. I don’t agree about
them been flimsy, they are really sturdy for poseability and holding things
like guns and such. But I do want to come up with a new/different/better
design for PA004C or a new model I have sitting on my desk for 2 months now.
Please suggest away I am hoping to come out of my Lugnet discussions with a
new design.

Power Armor PA005C:
  
Lookin’ good! I like the re-design of the legs a lot, even though I think >the first iteration was the best: • Thank you kindly!

Nevertheless, these ones are definitely an improvement and I like the new poses. The weapons are also nice; love those smoke/grenade discharger tubes.
I had those grenade discharger on my desk since the days of the PA004A Warrior model but I did not like the Warrior so I never took pictures of the weapons.
Believe it or not that is the second reason I redesigned PA005’s back!
  
Overall, both are stellar. Well done Mr. Rabadan.
Thanks again dude. Lets see some more from you now : )
David
