Nice work Frank! I must admit, it looks very nice in those colors. The ball
joint hips on your latest mechs work very well, it gives them a 'realistic'
movement area, as well as staying true to the looks of the art.
Perhaps you could take a pic of the joint for me to look over? I THINK I know
what you mean, but if I could see it, I could be sure.
Crticisms now....
You need to make the arms be more, well, stiff. The fishing line, although a
nice touch ;<) could be replaced by a different joint system. Also, (personal
thing here, don't mind me if I'm weird) it would look nice if you were to put
plates on the insides of the gunpods/arms. Seing the insides of the 2x4s is
something I don't like, but that is a personal beef.
Otherwise, great model. BTW, I borrowed some ideas from you for use on my
remodeled Centurion. It will have ball joint hips (with no plastic wrap or
other stabilizations, amazingly enough, they work on their own!) and click hinge
knees. You and Dave J. noted it's lack of movement I believe.
Again, sweet model
