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

What is this?
Wow!  Now your MS makes sence.  You should have posted this image in the first
place.  I am very interested to know from which manga/series you got this from.
I should add that you did an excellent job in copying the "feel" of that mech!
Excellent work!  I hope to see your new thing(s) really soon.

Bobby (and nothing in the brackets due to restructuring)


)-- I'd like to say that I diverged out of aesthetic choice, but I was really
just running out of light grey.

wow.  This is real cool.  I love the hip skirt and the feet and legs. The
head looks like it has quite a few degrees' of freedom. is it on an old
school b&s joint or something? I also think the arms look pretty cool. The
Shoulder armor is (while smaller) vaguely reminicent of the AMX-004 Qubeley
from Gundam Double Zeta
(http://www.gundamproject.com/mecha/gundamzz_qubeleymp.html).  It definitlly
has a Jion/Axis/Neo-Jion feel to it. I love the rounded feel that tho whole
model has.  I built a similar sized model and it appears a bit boxy.  I have
a few criticisms: the first is the pose (minor I know).  It seems to be
leaning back.  It made it a bit difficult to tell what was the front and
what was the back (also since the first pic was of the back) I think that
the torso looks really cool but seems to stick out too far in the front.
Tho it isn't as obvious in the last pic of the 3 mecha perhaps a slightly
leaning forward pose would make the torso seem to stick out less.  It's too
bad the you took it apart this is a really cool design, I wouold love to see
it IRL.

Hello all,

This one's been done for a while (in fact it's already been destroyed in
favour of something newer and perhaps weirder), so sorry if the photos
are poor, not much I can do now....

anyway, find it here:

I welcome comments positive and/or constructive (feet are much smaller
this time around ;^) )

best,

stuart
