Oh what a pleasant surprise! I logon and bam, there is your finished Roo
Mech!
Well sir, you are the first and it is quite original.
The overall form is very nice. I love the choice of colors.
The Head is very cool and it has a good deal of personnality.
Not to big at all IMHO.
|
Well it is a bit big, but I liked it too much to try and redo it smaller.
Personality won over accuracy this time.
| |
I’ve been dying to see how you were gonna do the legs. They look great.
I really like the way the legs came out. Cool pieces everywhere.
|
Thanks. I must have rebuilt the legs five times before getting the right balance
between range of motion, appearance, and the ability to support the model.
| |
The pilot cabin is great!
..and of course I told you that the Tail and rear section is excellent.
The claws at the ends of the arms are cool too.
|
Thanks. The hands were another part that I spent a lot of time building various
versions until they looked right.
| |
My only honest critique is this:
When you get a chance, lengthen or enlarge the size of the arms just a wee
tad. I know they are supposed to be short, but they just need a little bit
more beef. Just a slight bit.
|
You could be right. In all honesy the proportions overall are a bit off, but
making the forearms a stud or two longer may help.
| |
Otherwise, you have a fine creation!
|
Cheers,
Allister
