The Legs are mostly static, with a double worm gear setup in the hip to

Wow. I think Tony needs to reclassify the categories to 12 inches and lower
because the big mechs are REALLY BIG. :)

Thanks, I'm proud of my engines.  I figured that big mechs deserve big

I don't play the games, but my fiance does.. and that's my research :)

(...) Thanks! <snip> (...) Turned out pretty good. The thing that gets me is that even though this mech is really big, the frontal area is actually pretty small.
