Whoops! Well - the back of the left foot has the rounded 2x3 and the back of
the right foot has the slope... Both feet are supposed to have the round
brick at the front and the slope at the back. When I was making it, it fell
off the table and the worst casualty was one of the feet - I obviously put
it back together wrong! I can't believe I didn't notice! Oh well.

I wanted the arms to be thin, but yes, I also wanted to cover up the elbows
more. Everything I tried either looked pants or made them too thick. So I
left it. I don't think I'm patient enough to rebuild more than a couple of
times - especially as this mecha is really just a 'practice run' (probably
the first of many such!).
As for proportions being out - well, as I mentioned, I was after a 'thinner'
top half, but perhaps I shouldn't have used those wedges on the shins...
Thanks for your feedback!
