definitely large for a first mech, as Chris stated. Impressive! And, yes,
Lego _can_ get rather heavy.

this sounds like a good thing-- but I'm not sure that you think so. I think
the larger the models get, the more limits you need to put on the joints.
It's funny, you almost have to include as many limits as you do points of
articulation!
It can't do the splits quite like yours,
Like mine? Oh, maybe you're thinking of Snead. He's amazing! Mine only do
the splits, as you say, by accident...
