Hey! Welcome to the fray, John!
Let me start by saying how much I love MOC's that feature the 'lone
adventurer/soldier'. I think it goes back to childhood favorites that you
could bring with you on the road and be assured of hours of entertainment.
This fits the bill perfectly. The articulation and function you've built
into the mech, while still endearing it with a cool esthetic. Combine it
with the insertion pod.....instant winner.
Glad to have you in the ranks...look forward to more great stuff.
Cheers,
-Gil
