Wow, that is very cool, Mladen! Good to see a new mech from you.
The legs look really nice- the detailing and greeblies on them work well.
The big gun is great too, and the dishes at the back of the MTP really work
well- they remind me of those on your wonderful Hovertank.
The little interior part is very nice, too. The whole idea of a blue
interior is a good one, I can imagine a buch of soft walls and seats in the
middle of this jurking, bumpy mech.
The only thing I would change is the height of the legs, the body seems to
ride too high. IMHO I think it would be better if the body was slung lower,
like a tall spider.
Wow... the color blocking is great, too!
