Which pieces are the right ones, though? I need strength and compactness in
one package, so anything along those lines that isn't too rare would be useful.

1) Gundams rock. I like them a lot. But anything that I do based on that
would essentially involve me looking at K's site and ripping off most of the
ideas. There's also a ton of Zaku and Gundam designs out there. It's been
done, and in a lot of cases, it's been done so well that I don't feel that I
could contribute as much as anyone else. Also, Gundam as a series is fast
becoming the only type of mecha that kids these days have seen. It's time
to remind them of the other stuff out there. :)
2) If other people have done Eva units (aside from the one parody page,
which is nice, but the scale's too small for my tastes,) where are the
sites? I'd love to see where people have gone with this design.
Thanks again,
CK
