Tony this is looking really swell!

The head seems to have alot of personality to it, I like it, I also really
like the smooth legs you have there too, and the feet have a awesome shape
to them.

oo, new hand design from what I can tell, looks cool,

I like the shoulder dishes too, neat touch,

The pics are blurry, but from hwat I see it looks great!

keep it up

  The increased security has payed off. The first images on the new mecha

Hey all. I would like to showcase my newest and largest mecha ever...Carver.

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=12674

Carver Stats:
26 points of articulation.
15 3/4 inches tall (the largest I ever built)
Utilizes worm gears, click hinges, and ball joints

Armament:
Four Vulcan machine guns (internal)
Two MFGL (Multi Function Gernade Launcher) (internal)
Four heat blades
Two RTC missle clusters (9 missles each)

The name Carver is from the four giant heat blades on each arm. The dishes
on each shoulder are massive iField generators for added protection.
Internal jump jets are located on the calves and shoulder assembly for
manuverablity. Additional ramjet booster pack is added for maximum speed and
jump distance.

Inspiration and thanks to:
Pilot Canidate (main style influence)
Christopher Snead (worm gear idea)
