Cool Chris, very cool...

I really like the articulation you put into this mecha. I have yet to master,
or even begin to learn and understand, that fine "art". ;-)

The weapons are neat too; that blade is positioned perfectly, a la Gundam Heavy
Arms. I would suggest adding more weapons though. Of course, maybe I'm just too
violent... :-D

The other thing that I sorta have a problem with is the hand design you used.
GlaGla's hands, while innovative and compact, looks a bit, well... too
"cartoony" and "organic" to me.

Overall, good job.

Mladen Pejic, over and out!
