By the way, you have to follow this path:

Front Mission 3 -->  Features --> Customization

Unfortunately, the screen pics are a bit simplified. If you really want to see
the mecha, you should try to find pictures of the toys.

I'll report back if I find any.

Buy extras.  :^)

I just bought my second X-wing set this week. I just love the new Star
Wars parts... lots of good parts.

I finished a new mecha last night. Turns out I have a wealth of red
slopes, so I decided to build a red mecha with black and gray • highlights.

If you guys want some ineresting mecha designs to look at, check out
Front Mission 3.

Nice, rough, real-looking mecha. No pretty-boy stuff here.

Well, I've just tried to build a Mech and dismantled it again because it • was
tat compared to yours.  I've done another one now, a sort of cross • between the
PatLabor Mobile Police Suits and Marvel's Transformers.  You can • have
a look,
just as soon as I figure out a way of getting pictures onto the web.  The • head
took the longest to do - I just can't build something in the smooth • Manga
or
BattleTech style.

What went into yours?  It looks like two X-Wings and a SnowSpeeder • to
me, from
the cowlings around the arms and legs and the cab window.  It's those • that
really give your model its style, but I don't want to break up or mix my • Star
Wars models.

Look at Front Mission 2 and Front Mission 3 for some other pics of these
mecha.  Be aware the Front Mission 3 mecha are action figures and are
pictured in blister packs.
Gotta say though, the Type 107 Kyojun, and the Zenith Rev, look pretty darn
cool sitting on the shelf over my desk, right next to my Ronin.  Wahoo!

The Zenith V in the Front Mission 2 pics is what my Kodiak is loosely based
on.
