Hey this looks swell Chris!

reminds me alot of a VOTOMS mecha, nice, the missile pack on the arm is
really well designed, as is the hand gun.

I really like the feet too! Very nice shape, and the ankle covers are sweet too.

It seems a little studdy, but that might just be a personal preferece.

anyway, great mecha! keep it up

(...) Thanks Geordan. (...) The handgun was a bit tricky, but I think the facade handle works nicely (while it's in the hand, of course) (...) That's something I'm still having problems with - allowing for ankle movement while keeping them covered. (...) (24 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
