wow! these models are fantastic! you have truly obtained the feel for
japanese anime mecha and, may i add, a wonderful insight into the female
anatomy (fatalle/fei yen). i love the organic shape of the stinger: it has
a very aesthetic form to it rather than being bulky or clunky. i hope i can
eventually build mecha that are as pleasing to the eye as yours. nice job!
