First and foremost I want to stress to the rest of the mechers how hard it
is to correctly photograph black LEGO, but Stuart, you managed to pull it
off great!

I'm a slave to Photoshop. Though I used a slow "film" speed, and lots of
natural light, the pix were still underexposed. Photoshop brought out _some_
details, but not everything. I'm going to try to take some more with a
filtered flash.


Ok, I am guess that you used ball joints and clicks, or are the elbows and
knees plates hinges?


Knees= click hinges
Ankles & Shoulders= limited axis ball joints
Elbows= Sneadified 1 x 4 brick hinges
Hips= double ball joint based on Chris Snead's idea here:

The curvy female thighs and rump and the breasts sell me the most.
Second the way you flared the calves makes the knees look like they are
trying to touch each other. That thighs together, knees almost touching,
lower leg angled out has a very submissive, feminine look that you and the
anime captured great.

:^o  !!!!!


The upper arms look fantastic too. The only minute critism I have is that
the lower arms seem too thin. I wnat to see fatter hands and lower arms
simmilar to the fat calves and boots.

yeah... point taken. Though traditionally, anime women have looooong legs
and small upper bodies, including their arms and hands.



Finally the head, what can I say, you are the master of heads! The little
thingies with the trans red tips look REALLY knight sabers.


Thanks man! I really appreciate the in-depth assesment!
