Strangely, #3 was something of a rough draft to play with a different leg
articulation and toe design, though I'm pleased with its overall appearance. I
like #5 in general, but those Blok-Bots faceplates are a pain to render, so I
went with the open-air version. I guess it'll be a light-duty mech. I did #'s
4 and 6 mainly because I've never done much with "conventional" vehicles, and I
wanted to see what I could come up with. I think 6 is my overall favorite,
though I can't quite say why.

The face does indeed pivot upwards for pilot access. Not much detail on the
interior, alas; MB has few greeblie-able elements for use in such a confined
space, but I guess that's just a challenge for the builder's creativity!
Thanks for the feedback and the kind words. I'll see about posting a reverse
view of #3 and maybe a #3-mark-II to liven up the top surface. Once I get a
dozen or so models constructed, I'll work on a base-style display to show them
in scale with one another. And then I guess I'll need to build some kind of
opposing force...
Dave!
