Cheers again for all comments and ideas... Here is a slightly blurry shot of how its looking so far.

The gun needs a little work yet but I’m happy with the shield design. Its a fine balancing act between what looks good and what the arm joints can support.

I played around with various skirt designs, but struggled to find the sweet spot to attach it to the waist area. I also need to add a booster pack which I’m working on as I write this. All attempts so far have caused the mecha to fall backwards! Oh yeah it was the MSZ-006Z series of Gundam that I based the design on, not the ZZ as I mentioned earlier... DOH!

Peace Jas

(...) Yeah, it's pretty obviously a stand-in right now. MAHQ has weapon lineart for a lot of stuff, might be a good idea to poke around and steal bits from several.

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.
