Thank you! Nice to hear from you.
Ya, you know me and those heads.

At the risk of sounding silly, I don't think I'm that good with Photoshop, but I
try. I dabble and learn. Though I like your idea and its something I have
thought about. We'll see what turns up. I just need a series of stills.

Wow, good idea. You got me thinking. Hmmmm. oh oh, see I made the feet first, so
I didn't know what the rest of the Mecha was going to look like.
But I totally get what your saying. I see what you mean.

can’t figure out how you connected those two 1x1 on the thumb. Which piece did
you use there?
Oh that’s a 1x1 headlight clip. Glad you caught that. I turned down the 1x1
plate so it was a little out of view in the pics. Your very perceptive!

Well that’s the only brick I could think of, but I wasn’t sure.
Thank you Eric

Um, to cover the little gap on the front? Or like a cool inner harness or
computer display? what?

Hey that rocks, I'll get a full size body desktop ready soon.
Thank you.
