Ladies and gents, Black Mamba:

That’s a darn fine mech you’ve got there Mark. The technical problems alone
involved in building a mech this size boggle my mind, but you pull it off with
aplomb.
Technically this thing is a marvel. Your joint tech is giving me the itch to
truck over to bricklink in search of technic turntables.
The colour scheme of black/grey with smatterings of red give it a very menacing
look. Very nicely done.
I do have a couple of criticisms though, but they are purely subjective so take
them with a grain of salt.
First the proportions seem a little odd. It looks to me like it’s too wide for
it’s height, mainly due to the fairly squat torso I think.
Secondly, while the chicken legs are cool, and you are undoubtedly the master of
this design, I don’t think humanistic arms go with them very well. It just seems
a bit incongruous to me. The arms themselves are well built, and I particularly
like the hand design, they just seem a bit out of place.
Nevertheless, it’s an excellent model, and you continue to inspire and educate
me.
Cheers,
Allister
