Knight of Gold! Holy crap look at that noggin! The colors are great for this
mech, since you can't use gold, it was a nice choice to use white and tan.
For the out of sync readers I found some pics of the KoG here:

The head is probably the most appealing thing, it's just so big, you gotta look.
The skirst armor is is great! They rest nicely and cover the whole area. The
thing, they seem a bit too long going over the knees. The lower leg is the
most noticable trait of a FSS mech and you don't want to cover that up.
The shoulder SNOT is awesome too. you really got the Knight of Gold's
rounded armor down pat here. WOW
The feet look REALLY FFS. They point where it's supposed to be pointed and
they have heals. that's a good build-up. What joint do you have in there?
::Ok now comes the hard hitting critism, since I just did a FSS mech I
studied these mechs quite a bit.::
The mech is too short and squat in the legs, if you elongate the legs by
about 6 studs it should look just right.
You have no upper arms / bicep area :(
The calves look more gundam-ish then FSS-ish. They get fatter at at the
knees instead of fatter at the ankle.
The wrists and ankles might look cool if they had the extra armor flaps to
overlap them.
There you go! I hope you take all these comments with SEVERAL grains of
salt, they are just my opinions, not final say!
OBTW I saw your kreiger suits on da-shelf. is there a full minifig or just
the head?
