Brian,
Very very nice new MS. The yellow really pops out the details. Especially
the yellow on the face.
I had the pleasure of putting your 03 together at BricksWest. I am still
amazed at how large AND solid your mecha are. 03 Came right out of the box
with only cosmetic damage (though the right hip turntable had unsnapped).
What I like most is that you can sort of let the mecha find its own sweet
spot and then it just stands. Also the way the hips turn out by swinging is
very well done. The back of the knee joint amazed both Eric and I. I still
can't figure out most of what you've done. Be glad you weren't there or I
would have taken it apart a bit to check out what was under the hood. I kept
making jokes about sending 03 back in pieces after I stole all your
technology. That mecha is so refined. Anyway I didn't mean to gush. Thanks
for sharing such an incredible model with us.
Oh and sorry 'bout the shoulder armor. I had it attached in the wrong holes
I guess. Eric told me about it.
Lastly what's up with showing an incomplete MS? Very un-Cooper if you ask
me. :-)
Later,
Bryce
