Interesting... I was thinking it needed *more* chrome. I actually went back
and forth a couple of times on the chrome grills for "feathers" on the back
of the wings. And I passed on giving him a silvery derriere. The harpoons
add quite a bit to the overall appearance, though, so I'm not sure I could
do away with all the chrome.
Anyway, the MothBot looks much better in person than in photos. I had a
really hard time picking out camera angles this time because I really
couldn't capture it properly. I've had that problem before, but never this
badly. I'm still not happy with the gallery, though I sure like the bot.
Has anyone else ever had that problem?
And hey- thanks! It's always nice to get useful and tactful criticism.
