Hi all,

The Cypher is my most recent mecha.  These pics were taken with a 35mm
camera, so excuse the blurriness.

You are excused. The emphesis on a fantastic design more than makes up for the
blurry pics.

I was simply trying to make a reverse-kneed minifig-scale mecha.
You succeeded beautifully. This is now my favorite mecha you've built so far.
It's compact, looks positively mean, and has a pleasing shape to it.

I'm really
beginning to love the grey and tan color scheme.

That's my only problem with it. Two light colors makes the details fade a bit
too much for my tastes. The tan just doesn't work for me. Orange would make it
stand out a bit too much and dark grey isn't quite a viable color choice yet
(wait a couple of months and try it). It's too bad the battle droid parts aren't
available in more colors. I'd love to see a light grey/sand red version of
Cypher. Alternatively, a Dark grey/brown combo would be fantastic, but nearly
impossible to pull off. Still, light grey and tan isn't all that bad. :P

(...) Thanks Dave. (...) Again, thanks. Mean is definitely one thing I was going for. (...) Yeah...I wish the battle droid parts were available in a lot more colors too.
