Hey, everyone!

Here is my new Andromeda, my new mecha:

This project began early this summer, when I bought a Super Battle Droid.  The
joints were interesting, but the model didn't seem to utilize them well.  I
started toying around with combining them with the click boxes that came with
the Alpha Team subs, and became encouraged by the range of poses available:

Wow!  I am working on Super Battle Droid MS as well and is it is two shoulders
and a head short of being finished!  I completely agree with you, the Super
Battle Droid set is nice, but with those hinges it could have been a lot
better!  You have done an excellent work on improving the range of motion with
these joints, not to mention that you have found a way to stiffen them.

I can't stress enough how nice is the torso area of the Andromeda.  The two
lowest armor plates, the ones at a 20 degree angle from the horizontal are
simply to die for!  This whole MS looks just great!  i can't wait to see it
with all of its new weapons and gadgets.  Now if you would excuse me, I have to
go and see if I can make any of my mechas kick in the air because I completly
forgot about those type of poses.

That's it for now!
Later, Chris

Once again, excellent work Chris!
