Oh man! I like this Exosuit very much!


Positives:
The Front canopy is used in a very cool way.
I love the arms becaause they look beefy and match the way the feet are made
to a degree.
The feet are so cool. Those large black slope parts are very cool for feet
use and the kinda look like hooves.
I dig the Round 4x4 bricks on the legs and arms, always a good touch.
I like the slopes on the bottom of the canopy and how they flush to the body
when closed.
It's so good to see those hindge parts used for the hand. I used those
hindges in my Black Robot and I made thagt back in 1988. Very cool to
finnaly see someone use them. Makes me happy.

Negatives:
As you say the pics kinda suck, I'm sure you'll remedy that with the SLR.
I'm not sure but I think that the upper shoulders need a little covering, or
was that the look you were going for? I dunno.

Maybe a couple of flood lights at the top of the Exosuit? you know for
seeing around when working, I just thought it would be a cool touch.

Could you stand the Mini-fig up inside the cockpit? I think an exosuit
should have the pilot standing upright. But if you didn't have room, that's
cool and never mind.

Overall:

Nice first attempt. I'd like to see more pix of how you did the hips and
shoulders, those parts are alwalys of interest to the Mecha community.

Now make more! I wanna see those SLR pix!

Hi, This is my first go at a mech of any size. I've done a couple of small ones to 'get the feel' and have been learning a lot from the masters in .mecha. This mech is designed as a general purpose machine useful in any situation from construction (...)
