Christopher,

I really dig this latest offering-- I agree with Bryce once again in his analysis--
you have a subtle mastery of form and function. I dig the head (always difficult)
and I like the hips and legs. I'm curious as to what's going on inside thos
shoulder joints. I am also sorry that you have decided to discontinue this scale,
since I think you still ave a lot to offer to it, but then, I can't wait to see
what you will come up with  at larger sizes! Good luck!

Then again, I think you may find (as I have since I decided to make some larger
things) that it will serve as a kind of palette-cleanser to do something small and
easy (relatively) while you complete larger works. Time will tell....




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
