Bobby,

Sometimes, it's a little like peeking behind the curtain in the Wizard of
Oz, or finding out how the magician performs his trick-- I'm still
fascinated by that very first pic, and seeing inside is never quite as good.

Don't get me wrong-- the NOM2 is quite an accomplishment, and you should be
pleased, but I'm most enamored by that first impression.

That being said, I'm amazed at the hip structure-- how does it support all
that topweight? I couldn't quite tell what was going on in the ankles, but
it looks like you are using a combination of modified 1x2s and 1x1s with
clips and bars, which can be a relatively strong technique, but (I've found)
only in certain positions, and only at certain model heights. In fact, I've
used this technique on _most_ of my models, and now, with a 23 incher in the
works, I found I can't rely on it if I want to pose the creation.

I hope to see this mecha grow and develop!

stuart
