That's so sweet I just got a cavity.  Wow!  I don't typically "Get" Gundam,
but this one rocks.  Your use of slopes and wing pieces are clever -- I'm
grokking the barb-shape on the wing for example, something I'd usually try
to hide but you've used to full potential.  Also, the hands are great --
harking back to Karim's innovative hand design, without being overly
derivative.

One area of this Gundam we're not seeing well is everything below the
waist.  Any chance of seeing ankle articulation on this beast?

Cheers,

Like Sproat, I don't "get" Gundam either - but I know a great model when I see
one.  Excellent job all around.  And I love the head, it really seems to have
character - almost seems something is actually behind those eyes looking out.

My only quibble is the 'radar view' pic - shouldn't that shot just be blank?
You know, stealth and all.  ;-)

(...) Thanks, I tried to give it some personality. (...) Good point. However in this case "radar view" = Bryce learning Photoshop. I just though it looked kind of creepy. Bryce McGlone (24 years ago, 29-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build, lugnet.general)
