well there are a lot of details that are kind of small that are directly
from you're B-05. i was originally going to use a barrell tank style gun but
it didn't look half as cool.

pretty much my only major diappointment with the suspension was that it
worked backwards. It doesn't really absorb too much the way I did it. O well

I originally had the legs four studs wide each but It looked like something
ugly... very ugly but nothing in particular comes to mind at the moment to
describe it, ugly though...
what part of the mech is the thorax? is it where the legs all meet together
and the main turntable is mounted?????

| Yeah, the "thorax" is where all the legs are connected. The turret is also connected to this place. Anyways, I probably shouldn't use terms like "thorax", but I don't know any other good name for that area. ;-) Maybe turret base, or leg connection (...)
