John,
Thanks for the comments and the critique. I see what you mean about the pose. I
didn't even think about the order of the photos, since (when I check out others'
pages) I usually just pick the ones I like most...
The similarity of the shoulder pieces to those of the Quebley is remarkable-- I
hadn't used it as reference, but it is very much the same.
However, I must say that I like the extended (distended) torso-- I tend to build
in an anime style-- exaggerating some particular feature profoundly. I did the
same thing on the Crusader, and on the calves/ feet of Hekuba. I posted a scan
of the picture that inspired me in the first place (same page-- same link
http://www10.ewebcity.com/dadoandrabbit/lego/gendarme.htm
)-- I'd like to say that I diverged out of aesthetic choice, but I was really
just running out of light grey.

| Heh, Well It's still my least favorite part but you did a great job based on that image. What anime (manga?) is that from?
