Geordan,
Somehow I missed this one. I just saw it on the recent page on Brickshelf
and came looking for you post. First off I agree with Kyle; you've got to
resize your pictures. Loading times made me give up.

Hehe, sorry, I'm on dsl, I keep forgetting that most people use 56k, as I
said to kyle, I wanna re-upload all o' my pics and file them etc.

Nice mecha though.  I like the backpack thursters. The swords are also well
done. I'm a little uncomfortable with the feet, but I don't know why. I do
like that the feet are your design though (finger hinges and such).

Thanks, the feet as Dave said in my previous thread, look very unstable and
fragile, and they do! but that was somewhat my intention, but they are
actually VERY strong, sometimes the little back piece comes off, but that
doesn't do anything anyway.

I'm not sure about all the greebles. In some areas you're losing the shape
of your mecha. Don't get me wrong I love greeble stuff. I just like to see
the overall shape of the mecha as well.

I noticed theis before, but your right! I'm lookin' more at the upper torso,
some of them just don't fit, I'll have to fix that.

It seems to me that you're getting better and better rather quickly.

Oooh Thanks! but I would still be here
(http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=15581)
if it weren't for all of you guys!

(That
is a compliment) I also noticed that your mechas seem to be getting bigger.
Is that right?

Definitely,

And finally...What's next?

Way too much, as far as mecha I have a blue mech comin' in a few days as
soon as I take pics o' it, an aerial drop mecha similar to Mark's with drop
ship etc. A bi-pedal artillery platform, and as soon as I get all of my bb
orders in, I'm going to start on a humongous (for me) three footer or so,
big guns etc. done periphials (drawings, resources etc.)  for it already,
maybe see halfway pics at the Sealug VLC meeting on the 14th.

Lot's of shameless plugs there!

Thanks again Bryce!
