Hi, Mark! Were I to give advice to someone just starting out (and I guess I
am), I would tell them to start out in the 8-12 inch tall range. Make sure
you have a good way to do the joints (most people these days use SW click
hinges and technic pegs wrapped with strips of paper of plastic wrap).
Don't be afraid to look around at what others have done - go to brickshelf,
and under member search, type in a few of the names you see appearing here.
I always thought it would be an interesting experiment to see how well some
othe the "Life on Mars" sets could be adapted to MOC mecha...
Speaking of mecha, my first attempt at building one can be seen under "old
stuff" in my brickshelf folder. It was made almost entirely out of the Robo
- raptor set (except for the windshield).

Much can be done with those sets, if that's what you happen to have to work
with.
I hope all of this helps!
Christopher
