Greetings!
I think it's incredible how the mech fits into the pod - I can imagine that
took some doing. And I really like the wheel-within-a-wheel detail on the
pod engine - I might have to borrow that sometime.
I was immediately reminded of Starship Troopers (the book, not the film).
That's a Good Thing!
Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff.
