PFFFFFF!!!! That is pnenomenal! Excellent choice and awesome buiding techniques!

You know the brick so well, all the shapes and parts. I am very impressed!
Meanest looking Mech I have seen in some time. The Ares is trully stunning.
I love how you built it.

Again, great work and I am glad to wish Brickcommander success in the future!
