dang, this mecha just makes me want to delve into the "studless" look even
more. too bad tiles are so expensive at bricklink. very nice form,
especially how the v-shape of the torso really accents the bulkiness of the
legs and armor. i also like how the weapons attach to the upper arms (i
know it's not a new idea, but i like it nevertheless). nice use of the
"sand beige" color, too.
