Not a bad little mech...Just built one from the ldraw file on brickshelf.
A couple of minor issues:
1) the 1x2 plates with handles in the upper leg are the wrong sort to fit the
lower leg portion onto.
2) Replacing the yellow 1x2 plates, 1x2 tiles and 1x1 tiles with 1x1 plates
and 1x4 tiles increases the strength of the cabin considerably.
3) The order of the parts seems somewhat hap-hazard...quite often parts are
added that are not connected and left floating for some time. Have you
considered re-ordering the parts to avoid this?
Other than that, it’s a very nice model...Any problems if I include one in my
Brickvention MOC’s (referencing you as designer of course)?
Of course, I’m still trying to work out suitable Brikwars use for this mech
:)

Hehe. Cool. Thanks for building this and especially for all the advice. I’ll fix
the problems, add steps and make some instructions. The order is usually the
order I build, copy-paste, add new parts etc. which is really not the way things
are built in real life.
Feel free to display it, but please send me a photo. It’s rare I get to see my
stuff built and I do believe things usually look better in the brick. I guess
Brikwars doesn’t really do flying stuff so easily so its suggested use is a bit
pointless. Just call it an urban anti-Timmy tank and let it shoot things ;)
Glad you liked it and look forward to seeing it.

No worries...I've made a couple of changes (1x3 curved bricks in dark red, 1x1 slopes in red, 1x2 tiles on feet in red) due to part limitations in my small spares collection, and am about to remove the yellow from the turrret as it doesn't fit (...)
