It has a very Gundam-inspired design (reminded me of a Zaku actually).

I am a very Gundam inspired kind of person.  The legs are from a mecha I
started in the begining of december but they didn't fit with the upper body.
I was trying to make a RMS-141 Xekueins from Gundam Sentinel.
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=89619 I was never happy with
the torso and legs together.  (Next project is to use the still built torso
which actually bares no resemblence to the Xekueins' torso.)

I have another non-gundam inspired mecha that I sould get the pics for
tommorow it has more of an escaflowne and evangellion feel to it.

It's cool how all your mecha retain similar design features.

The head design is almost identical to the design I used for my LSM-003
Intruder.  The Colossus was designed by the same company as the Intruder.

Your choice of colours
was good too. I like the weapons too, however I think back-mounted cannon needs
to be more beefed up (you could add an ammo container somewhere on it). I also
think that folding mechanism is not the best. Ever seen the mecha from [1]
Armored Core 2? They have similarly attached weapons fold backwards in a
different way. The elbow joints could also be covered up...

I went through so many designs for the Back cannon.  And other than the
ankles it is my least favorite part of the mecha but the design pictured was
the most sturdy other designs fell apart when the furnace came on.  ;)


Overall, you've done an excellent job. I look forward to seeing your next
models.

Mladen Pejic, over and out!
