As you have no doubt noticed, Sean, building mechs gets a little tricky at
times. However, I can tell you that as a total Battletech junkie you have done

Actually, I wouldn’t be too upset about the size if I were you because you
definitely got the feel of this venerable old design. In addition, in my
opinion, making smaller mecha can pose more difficulty when building a rendition
of an existing design because you have less pieces to work with to get the
desired shapes.
My only suggestion would have been to beef up the upper leg a little bit.

Again, Sean this would be a first rate effort even if it wasn’t your first mech!
Keep on building them, I look forward to seeing more.
