Mmm. The color scheme is wild, but the design is good. You definently have
a good mech-ish feel around it. Now just try building it with one or two
colors. It might be hard to find all the parts needed, but trust me, the
great design of this mech will look a lot better with a unified color scheme.
I like the use of the dome as the head.

| (...) Thanks for your ideas and kind comments! Yeah, it's not a finished look just yet. I'm hoping to rebuild with a color scheme as you suggested; just haven't sifted through everything yet to find it all. Peace and Long Life, Tony Alexander (22 years ago, 26-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
