When building things like this I would be rather chocked if it we're not
"forever" between the posts!

Yikes!

As Adrian recently showed, poultry mix well with Mech!

More light would do the trick I think. If you have not looked already try to
see if your camera (if it's digital) can be set to manual ISO settings, select
the lowest number (often 100) and use a tripod. If possible use an external
trigger (some PC software that ships with cameras can do this) or an internal
camera timer. This is to avoid shaking the camera while pressing the shutter
button.

Amazing! I really love your work Bryce and I hope to one day make stuff in this
genre and size. I don't know anything about Gundams or other Mech genres but
your work is biological looking and truly scary! Where do you draw inspiration
from? Or is it all nightmares as you claim? :)
Torment is a good name, it looks haunted and the chains/flex hoses work very
well. And the masks! OMG! If that does not scream haunted and tourmented I
don't know what will!
