Wow, that's quite a behemoth Bobby.  First I gotta say I love that head, and
like the whole Sandrock/Deathscythe feel of it.

Now...let's see...I think the arms are a bit too long, and the legs a bit
too short.  Make the lower leg longer and the upper arm shorter by a few
studs and it should look a bit better.

I just toyed around with Photoshop adding an image of the Proto 02 to the real
01D2 and I found that the arms are just a bit too long, while the legs are 60%
shorter!  I knew that they were short, but not that much.

Also, the entire gundam is a bit boxy.  This can be easily remedied in the
arms and legs, by adding surface details to "round" it a bit.  But the torso
proves to be a bit more difficult.  I like how the chest juts out, but
there's still a bit of squareish feel to it.  Perhaps some SNOT slopes and
plates?

SNOT usage is a thing I still haven't integrated into my "building vocabulary",
however it sounds like a good suggestion.

Lastly, be sure that wherever you use odd colors you hide them well.  Keep
them under some armor.

? Which part are you refering to?

All in all, I'm psyched about seeing the final product.

To be honest, with so much interested in this prototype, I am begining to get
psuched up about seeing the finished product myself :)

Have fun!

Special thanks to all the people taking active interest in this Gundam
prototype.
Here are 20 and some odd additional images, I hope that you will not be
disappointed.

Please, give me as much negative or at least critical feedback of the 02
Prototype as you can.  I really want the actual 02 to be something else, but as
in all one man jobs, it is hard for me to see my errors.  If there is something
that bugs you or you don't like about this Gundam, please speak up so I can
eliminate the problem from the final design.  At the very least, consider this
as a unique opportunity.  When else is a builder going to ask you to tear apart
his new moc and then thank you about it?  :)

Have fun!
Bobby
