Good golly.  Pat, this rocks.  I'd definitely call it a mecha.  I'd love to see
some pics showing the leg articulation.  And that's cool how you used the
coloration on the X-Wing nose piece to simulate powder burns from the guns!
:-,  Way cool.

For you spacers out there I also uploaded some pictures of my latest
minifig space craft.  The ship is designed to be an anti-capital ship
weapon.  It has a large 'ship-busting cannon mounted in the front as well
as 5 articulated missle/bomb arrays that contain 40 mounting points.  It
has two cockpits and an interior engineering section (no pics of the
interior yet).

Definitely a gunship.  Big one too -- is it a fast-attack craft, or would it
use stealth and bait-and-switch to bring its guns onto the target ship?
Anyhow, it looks good.  Almost has a Star-Trek-ish, runabout-ish feel to it
(minus the warp nacelles, of course.)

How'd you get the slant on the plates near the aft?

Way cool.

Cheers,
