John, I like the sholders, the head is neat, the waist is cool, the way you
made that pack on the back is really cool, oh look the legs seem like they
have "high waters"....what I really dig is that the legs move out and the
ankles pivot to go along with that movement. Like I said I always like
seeing what you make.

Thanks.  My goal was to make a mecha that didn't look sci-fi but rather
castle like.  I am very happy with the shoulders, torso and head.  the arms
and legs are a little skinny but I'm not unhappy with them.  The structure
legs, which I am very happy with, are all click hinges and friction pins.
the flag pieces on the feet help support the ankles when the leg is leaning
far to the left or right.  I was going for a vagully human muscle and bone
look.  but yeah it does kinda look like the mecha's armor is bunched up
around its calves.

"War Striders" neat name, or theme for Mechs on that kind of duty.

Yeah.  I thought so too.

Another cool mech for the John Carrol book!

I have yet to come up with a name for this specific mecha but the gereral
mecha are called war striders.

It is powered by the energy crystal in the back.

I have pics of it with a cloth cape but they just don't look right.
