Thanks for the kind words Gary!

I don't quite know what to say. (been having that
problem lately)

=^D

I'm always amazed by these things. IMHO you just 'uped the
bar' on the level of detail.

Well that was my goal to set a high level of detail, but I don't know if I
did or not, and I wouldn't be at liberty to say if I was! :-)

Thanks again!

Hey'all!

It's been awhile since I posted a new mecha, but here it is, the Byzantine
Tiger, (yes it's the same one as in my story)

I don't really like giving a explanation for my mecha anymore, but this • one
sort of begs it so here goes,

My inspiration for this came from Master Grade Gundams,

See here:http://www.hlj.com/cgi-local/hljpage.cgi?BAN906042

All MG gundams have the removable armour, on them, with inner detail
underneath, so I set out to do what no one had done, and mimick that at a
small scale, here are the
results:http://www.hlj.com/cgi-local/hljpage.cgi?BAN906042

Basically, all of the armour (almost) can be removed, to see detail
underneath, everypart of the armour on the legs can be removed (except the
feet) to see detail underneath, I crammed as much as I could into this
scale, not as much as I would have liked, but I'm satisfied. The whole
pelvis section can be removed, to see detail within, The pelvis mounted AA
gunscan have a panel that can also be removed. :-)

The torso has a few, the entire upper torso can slide off of the center
black cokpit are, the controls are within the torso area. the arms have a
few removable panels, so do the big red things on the side.(don't know • what they
are yet :-D) the rocket/cloaking device can also be removed to see detail
protruding from the back,

The sides of the lower torso also open to reaveal computers etc.

With the tiger, I set out to reach a bench mark level of detail at a small
scale, you decide if I set it or not!

I think in total there are nearly fourty panels in all, not sure exaclty
though, could be more.

AS far as it's role in Mecha Zuna, this IS the mecha being talked about • all
the time, you should see this and all of it's cloaking beauty in the next
few chapters,

and as for the story itself, I haven't been working on the next chapter if
that's any hint, something to host the story instead more to come...

anyway, I've talked enough,

PLEASE let me know what you think,

Enjoy!

Thanks,

Bye,
