One word: FINALLY!

geez, I have been having so much trouble getting a mecha together since
January, but FINALLY I got something finished. :-)

After the hokum, I got about 3/4 of the way done on a winter combat
mecha...that died...then I tried a hardsuit...finished it, but it wasn't
worth posting...then I tried building a large scale mecha...that was so dead
by the time I was up to the waist, it wasn't worht trying to fix what was there.

but FINALLY. :-D

anyways, it's called the Tosai, it has two main weapons, a large beam rifle,
and a small anti-infantry type gun. four smoke dischargers mounted in the
arms. It can hover for short amounts of time via the jets on the back.
There's my spiel.

Anyways, Credits to my buddy Mladen, specifically, on the hands, I combined
the dated minifig feet idea with his newest hand desgin, credits there. The
almost no studs showing construction is credit to him and his wolf as well.
Also, I used Chris Snead's stiffened hinge design in the hips.

I think that's it!

lemme know what you think! :-D

Not bad at all!  The weapons are nice, and so are the legs and the torso.  I
love what you have done with the yellow "recuring theme" which combines the
upper and lower part of the mecha.  The head fits nicely between the shoulders,
somewhat unusuall but visiually pleasant, oh and yeah, the back thrusters are
really something!

Me likes, keep it up!  How about a 5 footer next?

FINALLY! :^P
