Hello Chris.

   Hey, this is interesting - it caught my eye on Brickshelf. I imagine that, being “only” 19 inches tall and loaded with worm gears, this model is pretty stable.

At this “small” size it really is. But when I tried to get more height on the upper body it got quite wobbly.

   I was a little perplexed at first by the wide hips, but now I see this is more of a “Mech” than a mecha, and looks very appropriate for that design.

What is the difference between a “Mech” and a mecha? I thought it’s just two words for the same. Or are you playing with “Mech”(anic) and mecha?

   I especially like all of the detail; parts as large as technic turntables and as small as battle droid arms work together to make an engaging model.

Greeblings were a lot of fun this time. There was space to fill and the size makes it easier to build greebles that don’t look oversized.

  
Great work, and thanks for sharing!

Chris
