Welcome Chris! Always good to see new designs. This one is quite
impressive for a first post. I really dig the color scheme, except there
seems to be a tad bit too much black. Maybe I only dislike this because
black doesn't photograph well. I'm also in love with the back-mounted
reactor. Those canisters mounted at angles are awesome. <yoink> :-)
The feet are pretty cool too, but overall the legs seem a little
disproportionate with the torso; sort of top-heavy looking. But, when you
build a mech around a pilot, the big-and-boxy-torso is almost always bound
to happen.
My only other comment is the arms. The upper arms seem very thin compared
to the supersized shoulders and those bearpaw hands (very cool btw). Maybe
using different hinging techniques could alleviate this? I know how hard
that can be with a small collection.
Overall, a great start. Pleased to have you on board.
-Chris
Oh, yeah, those tail lights are pretty neat too.
