I like this sand blue a lot (wish it was in more sets). I tried to get a tighter
color grouping on this one.

Thought you'd like that, E!

Thanks, I was trying to fuse some of the aspects of typical anime mecha and the
usual chunky Battletech mechs into one design.

I wanted to try some poseable toes for a change.

Kind of, I had to rotate the joint sideways to accomodate the inner toe. Gives
it a good gunslinger stance, don't ya think?

Hmmm.... What's your definition of fast, E?
A fast build for me would probably be around the 5 hour mark.
This one was about 20 hrs of work. I had to redesign the Torso once because the
first attempt was so small I had no way to set a guy in it, so I resized from 4
studs per triangle side to 6 studs. Originally, I tried to make the legs
triangular with three toes, but abandoned the idea when I couldn't find a good
way to construct them and have them support the weight of the mech, much less,
have them be stable. I added a number of small touches to this design that I
don't usually do.
Btw, what did you think of the ladder system? Should I Nix it or keep it?
