Thanks! But what is AKAIAC? (sorry, havent gotten all my vocab words down yet ;)
)
That said, I can't say I like much else on the model. The colorscheme is fine,
but looks a bit cluttered-a little red here, a little black there. It almost
looks like you went out of your way to add red into a black model. Eliminating
more black would help, but I'm not sure that's the complete answer here.


Yeah, when i completed the model, i noticed it was kind of hard to see some of
the details, the only reason i used so much black was because i have recently
sorted all my black parts.
The hands seem to be that same tired minifig feet design, unless I'm missing
something here.

The part that suprises me the most and the detail I like the best is the weapon.
It's simple, yet lends added power to the design of the mech.

I tried making a different hand design, something small that would fit the
model, and i just couldn't think of one, and in my hurry to post pics i settled
for the minifig legs. My goal, however, is to create a new universal hand
design, like the minifig legs or pistols for fingers.

There you have it-not the nicest of reviews, but then again, that's not what you
asked for. Just give it the treatment you gave the last one and Hoplite will be
a great model.

Thank you very much for your input! I'll take those into consideration when i do
a revamp of this model! :)

Okay Frank, here's my thoughts: I'm feelin' the mohawk! This is brilliant and AKAIAC, the best part of the mech. It compliments the rest of the mech well-it helps accent the bulky feel of your design. That said, I can't say I like much else on the (...) (21 years ago, 28-May-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
