This mecha is sweet, it looks fantastic, it's smooth, clean, very well
executed. There is so much intricate snot you packed in there, awesome. I
love that head as well.
Nice work on the gun too.

This is cool too, I'm not familiar with what fei yen looks like, but as a
mecha this looks great. The skirt is very cool, and I like the legs too.
Nice work!

WOW! This is incredible! Look at all the detail, but then the awesome forms
in the feet and legs etc too. Just like in your warhammer. That's what made
it awesome, was all the greeblies, but then sweet shapes in the leg etc. I
think this is my new favourtie mecha from you. There is SO much detail, the
neck! wow! that is an awesome idea and it looks great! I'm really liking the
legs, nice snot. The torso is very well done as well. heck everything about
this mecha is well done. this is one of those mecha where you can't praise a
single part of the mecha because it is all so good!
Can't wait for more!
