The Battlemaster is cool too, I forget which anime it originally came from.
(1) That series has a generally "curving" style which IMO looks great,
almost an eastern European military design, though would be a challenge to
capture in blocky Lego... I really like your solution, tho. Now if only I

A question about building in that scale: How do you design the joints? Do
you lock them into those angles, or are they loose yet strong enough to bear
the weight of the rest of the model?
