Wow! I have lots of things to comment on this MS. First of all though, is
this a Gundam or a GM? Either way, here are the things I like:
1. The design is extremely clean.
2. The 07 and 06 seem to be very efficient when it comes to # of pieces used
3. Has a very solid and realistic look!
4. All the gearboxes and turntables seem better concealed.
Things I don't quite like:
1. It isn't as mean spirited as the older Dark Gundams (the 06 and 07 "feel"
like good guys) which mind you is not bad at all
2. The arms and legs are boxier and at least to me, seem as much as 25% thiner
(generaly what a person should expect to see in a more efficient design anyway)
3. The new leg and arm designs while using probably as little as 1/3 of the
pieces needed in the previous design seem somewhat plain for a Gundam (but then
again are perfrect for a GM, and this goes back to my first question).
And here is something I can't quite grasp, how does the ankle armors work on
the 06 and 07? In all my Gundam research I have never encountered a system
where the front ankle aromor lies on the same line as the top leg armor. On
the Deathscythe I have the leg armor go behind the ankle armor
(http://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=168409) but what you have reminds
me of a Zaku configuration on top of a short Gundam ankle system. To summarize
this entire paragraph: This is great, pleas post more pictures!
Please, post a pic or two more...
