yay, I can post again...

Great work Tim! It looks very faithful to the original, especially with regard to the details.

The only problem is that it’s a bit too big. I can understand this is due to the level of detail you wanted to show... BUT I’m thinking, why constrain yourself to scale in the first place? Why not build it as big as necessary to make it even closer to the original?

I say this only because the legs look a bit chunky and blocky... What if you used those new curved slopes and wedges on the legs to make them more curvaceous? If they end up scaling up the entire mecha, who cares?... You can always go for a maxi-fig, UCS scale! :-D

LOL, anyways, maybe I’m just too excited with being able to post again, and rambling on.

Good stuff. Keep it up!
