I like it. its a good representation. For those in the dark on this -
the original looks something like this:

The weapons look the part, although I think the fins only need to be
on one shoulder. I think that you could get the look a bit closer if
you inverted the bricks clipped on at the kneecap joints. Its a
fantastic mech. Any chance of other views - like the rear as well?
I also liked some of your other sculptures. The large scale lego
bricks are seriously awesome. I am most impressed by the moving hinge.
You've done some amazing stuff there Sean.
