I think it's come out quite well.

I'm unfamiliar with "Zoid", but that is a great mecha head shape.  I have
one question, though- can you actually open the windshield without taking
the front curve piece off?

I thought somebody might raise this question.

The answear is, I don't know. I have now built the complete mech but I don't
own that particluar windshield part. If Lego had no tolerance's between
parts then it definately wouldn't open. I'm guessing it won't open properly
but the design is optimised for accuracuy rather than playability.

See the whole mech (now with body) at the above URL.
