I haven't settled on one yet... I'm still trying to get it right. But I am
happier with the Panther cockpit than with the previous mecha I've designed...
It's still pretty boxy from the outside, but what I like about it is that the
cockpit opens in a very dynamic, cool, anime-style fashion, with three
inter-leaving panels that fold & slide out of the way.
I'm pretty much happy with the arms & hands, and now only make minor
modifications to those designs. The legs are still evolving, though, again,
the Panther comes very close to my ideal.
