I'm sure everyone will be very surprised, but...
I agree with Mladen in this instance. Yeah, maybe he didn't pull any
punches, but I have to say that I agree with his general sentiment.
However, Bobby does have some nice features... I think the head is well
done, and I like the cockpit entry with the magnets and the domes. I just
think it needs work. Right now it has the appearance that it was cobbled
together from every piece in the toybox.
If size was the only goal, then I suppose it's successful, but I don't think
design and detail should be sacrificed in the name of making it huge.
