Chris, I really love the articulation of the head, and the legs.  The sword
and arms/hands are cool too.  Now, I dunno if it's just me, but he looks a
bit top-heavy...maybe it's just the angle it's photographed at?  I
dunno...at any rate, pretty shweet!

Hey, everyone!

I've been pretty busy with school, so I haven't been doing much "Meching"; but
I have been working on a little something that is a mix between Eros and

It's about 90% done.  I posted now, though, because I probably won't get to the
rest of it for a little while; so you'll have to stay tuned...among other
things, there will be sort of a bazooka-missile launching type of weapon.

This mecha came about while I was searching for a better way to do hands for
Regulus and Chiron.  I asked Mladen for any ideas he had; he was kind enough to
provide several designs.  I didn't have parts to make the hands of choice for a
tan and brown mecha; so I built a new one in red.  Thanks, Mladen!

This mecha also represents the last mecha of this type that I will build; I
have been building mecha that are sort of action figures.  Now, I want to build
larger, more involved mecha using worm gears and click gears (like on Cepheus).

Anyway, let me know what you think!

See you all later!

Chris
