Lol! yeah, they are pretty bold, and large, but they look kinda neat IMHO, I
still haven't figured out what they are yet. ;-)

Thanks!
The right, forearm-mounted (shell firing?)

Lol! I didn't even notice I did that yet! :-)
It's becasue I can never figure out a good and sturdy way to have the hand
gripping it, so I just stick it to the arm. :-)
> The only things I think of that could be improved are the forearms.
That's one of the larger things I need to work on, arms and hands, all of my
mecha have had problems with either the arms, hands or both, I can never
seem to get it quite right. :-/
The crouch
> mounted missile launcher is cool, but kinda looks weird.
Yeah it does, but I still like it. originally it was going to be mounted to
the shoulder, but I couldn't find a spot to mount it without messing up some
of the overall form.
Trust me, [1] adding
> stuff to the crouch doesn't always come out perfect.
Yeah, well I still think it looks kinda neat, but I agree, it could be
*alot* better, it would have looked cleaner at least, if I had filled out
the sides connecting it to the skirt, oh well.
These are just minor

Not complaints, nuggets of wisdom, I'll definitely keep these points in mind
for my next minifig scale mecha. :-)

Abomination?!?!? I love the crotch piece on the dilur (and azriel) they look
neat and unorthodox in a good way.
Thanks again for the comments Mladen!
I look forward to seeing you next mecha. :-)
