I am mostly proud of the head design. I got the idea of using the "mowhawk"
from watching 'Mad Max' the night before :) The leg an arm design are
similar to my other medium mech. I tried to ditch the mostly black paint
scheme in favor of something more vibrant, IE the red.

The head was the first thing i built. It used one of those round green
translucent saucer things inside a technic figures helmet. The mowhawk is
made from the 1widex2long hinge plates with three teeth and the flat 1x2's
with 2 teeth.

Sorry about the quality of the pictures, my digital cam ain't the best, but
at least i have one. If i can, I'll try and get some more shots of the mech,
as well as me re-armed infantry squad :)

Please offer me your criticism again, as it helps me churn out newer and
better MOCs!

I like. Red and black are always so menacing :-)  Good clean shape and
design. I like the foot, nice trick with the slope.

Got to love the massively oversized rifle too :-)
