I’ll start with the “bad”...Mechawarrior type mecha just isn’t my thing.

That’s ok for me. I’ve my problems with the Gundams.

  
Now the good... I really really like the hips and waist. You did a great job of compacting all those turntables and gears and such. And you blended the System parts into the Technic very well.

Thanks a lot. This carries even more weight as it comes from your side.

  
I’m sure the mecha is super stable (like Snead said), so I’d like to see some more bulk up top.

I tried that once and got into what I call “humanoid trouble”. Goliath tended to fall over to the front or back. I never had this problem with a chicken leg design!

But still I’m thinking about rebuilding the upper body. Bulk it up a bit and get room for real arms.

  
You also did a good job with the greeblies though they seem to be a bit random in spots.

I think you refer to the upper body greeblies with the random spots. If this is right, I totaly agree. They are random. One more point to refine on the upper body.

  
On a more general note it’s good to see the mecha community a bit more active the last few weeks. I may have to finish the brick mecha I have half finished....

Hey, please do! I’m here for only two years. I can’t remember seeing a non Bionicle creation of yours. Don’t get me wrong, they are fantastic. But I’m wondering what you come up with when using “normal” bricks.

Thanks for the reply, Bryce.

Please finish that mecha, please, please, ...
