This has been a remarkable event, with lots of brilliant designs thus far,
and we haven’t seen all the entries yet!
Sorry about the lack of in-progress pics, the main building session took
place over a weekend when my wife was out of town and had the camera with
her.
Feedback appreciated!

That’s a really interesting colour scheme you tried, Kyle. I like it!
The upper half is in your signature style, with the cockpit, the huge missiles
and the antipersonnel gun (below the cockpit). The main cannon is very nicely
constructed, but seems a bit small in comparison with the ginormous missile pod.
The legs are good, but seem to be angled too steeply. The heavy “foot” makes
them look awkward. From my quadruped and multiped design experience, I can tell
you that legs should either be: a) left without any feet/toes, b) given splayed
toes, c) given a small “pad”. That said, your “feet” do show promise, but
perhaps on a slightly bigger mecha...
Anyways, well done Kyle! I was so happy to see a cockpit on this one. The trend
nowadays seems to be against them! :-)
