Helldog II...one of my favorite mechs. I look forward to more pictures.
Also Chris your mech deserves its own post. Don't bury it under a question
to Mark. Be bold my friend and show your talent!
That articulation is off the scale. I have NEVER seen a Lego model which can
do such life like poses. You said it's a demonstration concept...I think
it's a bit more than that. You've just taken action poses to a new level
with a fairly simple design. I kinda like the mech without a head too. No
head gives the mech a more IMO meanacing look.
Oh well my 2 cents.
