Jeesh, got to catch up...
Not much I can add to this, but here's my two bricks worth anyway:
Imagine this in yellow, be an awesome worker mech. Especially looking like
a gorilla, it'd be great. If I were to do the construction method on this
guy, I'd put a cage on the pilot not a canopy. With the articualtion of
this beast, woof. (picturing a group of teamster minifigs hanging around
their mechs, "Hey, yous want us to unload dat frieghter, yous gots to wait
til after our contractual 20 minute coffee break."
The cockpit looks very heavy, very industrial. I don't know if I like the
whole front end coming down. Not sure what to do but it seems to fit.
If this is a first forray into mecha for you, I'd say you are well on your
way. Keep it up.

| (...) Hmmm, I tihnk I've just found my next project. I was going to try a motorised kangaroo mech, but this sounds easier. (...) Ho yes! I only hope my rather diminutive supply of yellow slopes holds out. Looks like the UCS TIE is going in the parts (...) (22 years ago, 11-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
