Thanks! I am glad you remember the first design (which had to be scraped).

I believe this mecha falls short of becoming an Eva as well. I know that I
have to work on my building skills as well, but my best friend (who is well
versed in Lego and Evangelion) claims that I am trying to do the impossible and
Lego simply has its limitations. While I don't agree with him, I am curious to
discover what other people think about organic mechas built with Lego.

I am trying not to develop a single style until I decide in what I want to
specialize in, but I don't think it is working very well (ZERO and 02 are
extremely similar for example).

He he :) I nearly all out of red, but I will be building a mecha similar to the
Mercurius in the distant future (NOM-08 if all goes well).

Thanks for the comments and I promise that I will try to get a few more MS
during the summer.
