Hi Frank!

Here's your model from my point of view (skewed as it is...):

I love the head design. Perhaps I missed your earlier model, but this head
design is quite cool. I
see it working better with black doors if you've got them. The gears on the
inside of the elbow
are a great decoration. They are almost imperceptible unless you are looking
for details, so that's
a big plus. I also like the way you've attenpted to make it look less 'boxy'
than it really is. That's
not an easy thing to accomplish, but I think the slopes do a great job of
forcing the 'boxiness' out
of this design. I'm also fond of the leg design, but I think it could be
slimmed down a bit and still
retain much of the rugged qualities it possesses.

Well thanks! I am happy that it turned out quite so well :)

Now for the bad...the colorscheme makes it tough to see what's going on. Too
much black IMHO.
It looks loke you worked hard to lend quite a bit of detailing to every part
of this mecha except
the torso. Oh, and I can see your megablox showing. ;P

All in all, I like the model, but I do feel the colorscheme detracts from an
otherwise fine design.

I was actually hoping to get rid of some of the black with more light gray,
to balance out the model.  And i also didn't like how the torso turned out
as much as i liked the head and legs. I'll probably make it "fatter" but not
so fat that it can't hold the gun with both hands. Thanks alot for your
comments!
