Hey, this is quite something! The four set of pictures take a while to load,
but its worth it. It is amazing how you have managed to fit the whole mech
inside the ship frame; the engine movement is particualary interesting.

Perhaps.
I am not a big fan of transforming mechs. I think that your space ship mode is
very good, but the mobile suit mode is limited by default, because it has to
become a space ship once again (and to top it off, it has to be done without
detaching anything). If I were you, I would build the two things seperately,
but if you are really into transformers then I must say you have a very good
start. It would seem that a movie based on Vision of Escaflowne will be
released in the US in the very near future (one or two months) and it will have
a "Talgese III" type MS which transforms into a white dragon (and it looks
quite well at that). I wouldn't be surprised if transformable mecha become
more widely accepted in build.mecha, so pursue what you enjoy best.
Have fun building more mechs!

| Thanks Bobby. I'm not really a big fan of transformers either, but I really was interested in the challenge. I dont think it would be to hard to make some design changes to the current model to get the mecha mode to look better. I'm not really sure (...)

| I have just finished my first attempt at a transforming space fighter. I used the basic layout of a macross valkrye (sp?) but changed a few things.
