Sounds good to me.

Lucky you! It's only thee hours ago that it came to me, that I have no Eva
models and hardly any pictures of Evas on my computer!

It was on KTEH here in the Bay Area last few weeks. It's a good thing they
showed it, I have forgoten how nice the Eva series are.

No, he isn't (at least as far as I know), but he has made two "agile torso
units" already.

?! At each point both side to side and forward-back ?! All I have on mine
are two forward-backs and it's already very agile. I can not even begin to
imagine how agile your torso is if it has that many points of articulation,
sounds very nice!

Sounds even better now, 16'' is not bad at all.

Indeed indeed. I think this is the only thing that Gundam lack, agility while
on the ground.

Now I have to aks: What is it with the sniper pose! All my friends simply
jump up in excitement everytime they see a sniper MS (the one from 8th MS Team
in the last episode especially). Sure, it's rather nice and deadly, but doesn't
it lack the James Bond finesse. No introductions, no warm up fights, just
caboom ("Let's play by the old Navy rules, first one to die, looses!").
If anyone else outhere wants to add their thoughts about Evas of MS snipers
please feel free to do so.
