It’s nice to see you working with regular bricks again, Bryce. (not that I don’t like your Bionicle stuff, which I do)

I’d always planned on coming back to System Lego eventually.

   I really like the legs and the chassis/thorax. Some of the pieces you use bring back fond memories, like the pod-racer fins and those cruciform plates with domes. The upper body is very nice, but seems a bit too big for the legs. Perhaps it’s just a little too wide. I dunno...

I agree. It’s too “buff” or built up. Maybe it’s just the caliber of weapons isn’t balanced with the rest.

   The missile launcher is wonderful, and could almost be a stand-alone weapon system for some kind of ground installation. Viewed from above, the way the gun is attached is kinda weird though. However, viewed from below, it actually looks good. Was that your intent, or did the joints necessitate the gun to be attached that way?

I was following the picture. I can attach it any way I want. I was just trying to be true to the drawing.

   Anyways, I really hope to see more pictures of this mecha. I’d like to see what the interior of the cockpit and the backside look like.

I took some more pics though I left out the back for some reason. I’ll get one of the back up soon.

   Oh and this .gif is pretty darn cool! Nicely done Bryce.

Thanks Mladen.
