Hey Jamie, the arms are actually pretty highly posable. the sholder rotation is the best and it is strong. The elbow needs a little saran wrap on the end of the anntena ball to make it nice and stiff, but now it can hold those huge guns! As for (...)

Thank you David! I made the upper arms short and made the forearms elongated as sort of my homage to the Bubblegum Crisis suits. The only thin I wish I could do is make the "hands" more real looking but at such a small scale, well... The enclosed (...)

Chris, I am please that you like both of the creations! The antennas were an evolution in mecha suit design and I think I have reached the end of that evolution, I want to build something different.

Hey TK, nice hardsuit. I tried using the technic bush parts for the arms when I was buiding my PA003 but I found them too short since I doubled up the levers. They do look great on your hardsuit.

Wow. This is really cool stuff - the research is evident in the believability of the backstories. And the mecha suits are cool - great use of antennas.
