Design from the inside out, rather than the outside in.
A big mecha needs a technic skeleton and joints, otherwise
its a statue, or a puppet(moveable but with no ability to
maintain a pose on its own).
Making a full skeleton first will also help you
get the proportions right, as you can quickly change the length
of an arm or leg. Try measuring the proportions of
an actual gundam (picture, model), percentage of arm, leg, torso, and hip
lengths relative to overall height, then apply these to your model.
Also try to get away from stacking bricks vertically as a construction
technique, it is ultimately more time consuming to build, takes more parts
and weighs more than is necessary. The entire torso of your prototype could
be built with almost no bricks at all (beams, plates, slopes).
