A few construction notes:
The lower legs turned out very nicely. Two hoses are attached from the feet
to the leg and the armor protecting the ankle is clipped onto the hoses. The
result is that the armor moves naturally with the ankle.
Also, the rifle was quite neat, especially the handle. For realism, the
handle had to be slanted. The corner of the 1X3 plate sticks out a little
when it is slanted and fits perfectly into the back hole of the 1X1 brick
with headlight. The pic is a bit dark but you get the idea.

I REALLY like the rifle, i have been tinkering awhile trying to make a
“realistic” rifle without it having a vertical handle sticking out, ive been
trying to get the mech to hold the gun itself at an angle (think musket) but i
think angling the handle is just a better idea!
All in all i like this mech alot the legs are very cool and the feet are
awesome. havent seen any that looked like those before! The dual chain guns that
are on the back are awesome! I love the grips you gave them. The rifle is also
cool, especially the blade (i think) that runs parrallel to the barrel. The rest
of the mech looks pretty solid, and the paint scheme is great. One thing i
noticed though is that the torso seems kinda skinny, in my opinion it would
looks better if the shoulders on the torso were beefed up a bit.
Keep on buildng man!

| (...) Thanks! If I actually have "chains" for the "guns" then I would call them "chain guns" But as of now their just "guns". ;) And yes, it’s a blade. I’ve always like combo weapons like those in Virtual On (Temjin’s beam riffle) and Final Fantasy (...) (21 years ago, 24-Sep-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
