Congrats on a great Mech! Good solid looking all around Mecha. The feet are
awesome AND original! This really is a step up for you! I knew you could do it!
Just keep at it and BAM! it all comes together.
For me Building is a series of compromises. Depending on the size and look
of the creation. Certain sizes require certain kinds of consrtaints.
Learning what scale and joint combos is the key. Your comming along nicely
if you don't mind me saying.
So what do I like about it? Everything!
Congrats again on your first Bipedal Mecha!!!
WOO HOO!!!!
