Very cool. The detail on this mecha are awesome too.. you’ve taken leaps and

have thought of that. The slanted cockpit, the tool shed on the back, the tanks
on the arms there are some very cool features on this mecha. Great job.
On another note you didn’t post on lugnet your red mecha that’s your greatest
creation yet i think. It’s inspired by the pirate king from furi kuri right? I
love that show.-James
