   all, or most, of your mecha are built in a single color, with generally the same set of proportions, and vary mostly in minor details. seen one, seen ‘em all? no, but if you’ve seen one you have a good idea of what to expect. This model breaks that mold, and I like that.

I would add only that the patented “Sophie Head” (angular hexagonal look) tends to make many creations “look” the same. Often even with vastly different bodies.

Each head I do now is me, trying to make the head so it looks good from all angles. I guess. Plus its fun to build stuff that hinges and links up with other hinges naturally. Finding those connections is what I thought was fun. Comming up with strange combinations.

Just a building note, thought I’d mention it.
