Thank you. Though I am happy with the photos. This is a model best appreciated
in person. When a Lego Fan views a model using black, this ought to be a given.

Your very right. Though we give ourselves artistic license when we build.
That and a lack of parts! I decieded that the hands were a form of weapon.
Slicing, jabbing, shredding.

If I do, that would be great. It was satisfying to me in that fact that I don't
build with black to often. Also, I wanted to document the design, mentally. So
building a second version solidified the design in my mind.
I also used click boxes in the hips as suggested by Bryce to make the hips a bit
more narrow. Cool thing I wanted to mention; the click boxes have a Technic hole
on the backside. So I was able to "lock" them in to a 1x4x6 Technic Box brick.
Making the hips stronger while being more narrow than the original. Little
improvements like that are in the design, while keeping true to the original.

Yes! Plus I owe you more detailed pictures of Mech Bay 09.
Plus the Ankle of the Cub.
Question though, what parts of the Mech Bay do you want to see?
I was going to take more pics the other night in the studio, but wasn't sure
what to take pictures of....what did you want to see in greater detail?

Thank you.
I'd like to say, I will always reach out for new borders.
Just sometimes, it is fun to build for the sake of building.
Not all my creations HAVE to be ground breaking or fantastic.
I still like to build, just to build.
I have some designs AND projects in the works. Little by little as they say.
You'll see.
Thank you as always!
