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 back would be better protection for the personel, but I had to
trim it up somewhere, no one that follows military stuff would have believed
that a fully armored transport filled with 3, 1.5 ton suits and people would
weigh less then 16 tons, so in the intrest of believablity, I had to. Then
again they probably would believe in an exosuit like that either! :^)

as for the pics, the trick is LOTS of light. I use 4 100 watt reveal
spotlights to make my creation really bright!

Thanks

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.
I really like what you have done with the transport also.
One thing I don't go for is the open back.  I personally
like the enclosed look.
Last thing I want to mention is how great your picture taking/editing
is.  Your pictures are nice and "clean".  If I can get anywhere
where you and Mladen are when editing pictures I'll be very happy.
By the way, don't consider building hardsuits and support vehicles
a rot.  I do enjoy them a lot so keep them coming.
Take care.
