Looking good - not really saying ZZ to me, but that’s just fine, because I hate the ZZ Gundam :).

I do have a short list of criticisms and suggestions:

Chest: I think moving the whole torso back about a stud on the hip assembly would make it seem less stooped - more “I work out like a maniac and can benchpress a battleship” than the current “Nobody loves me, I think I’ll slit my wrist cables” posture. YMMV of course, but that’s what I see.

Hips: I like where this bit is going, but I think skirt armor would also help with that stooping effect and keep the torso from seeming overbuilt in comparison to the rest. And, you can stick all sorts of fun stuff on skirt armor, like beam saber racks and extra arms.

Come to think of it, it looks like you could fit Hazel’s multi-weapon latch in there. That’d be a hit.

As far as backpack suggestions go, I’ve always liked this one.

Weapons I have no brilliant ideas for, except to suggest that you poke around on MAHQ and GEARS and see what you like. GEARS has some really nice stuff under Tyrant Sword and Sentinel.

Now that I think about it, a Beam Smartgun with some kind of support frame would look great.

Hi all, Just thought I'd post a WIP of my latest Mecha. Its been a while since I've built anything and I have now got a pretty good storage system for my bricks, so it was a joy building this. (URL) The design is loosely based on the ZZ Gundam (saw (...) (19 years ago, 5-Mar-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
