This is really a first for me.

Excellent poseablilty there Mladen. It makes photgrahping mecha all that much more fun when you can wrangle them into all sorts of cool or kooky poses.

I agree to a degree with Soren about the pot belly though. It’s not exactly fear inspiring, although that could be useful on the battle field - cut ‘em down while they’re parlysed with laughter ;) No big thing, but I think the proportions could be helped a bit by making the head slightly larger.

But hey, it’s your mecha, and it’s cool anyway. The hands are especially neat. Who was it calling for new hand ideas recently? Here ya go. And the weapons - far out. I just don’t have my head full enough of military tech to ever hope to come up with weapons as cool as you are consistently capable of. Well done as usual.

Cheers,
