Dude! That's great! The long cylindrical shape is really unique, and you've
made it work well. It truley looks like a space vessal, with the long spindly
appendages and those nifty circular thingies on the back. And the references to
Classic Space really does make this look 'Pre-classic.' Especially the front,
using a vaguely CS-ish use of those trans-blue canopies.
You 'stole' my idea though, I was planning to make similar circular tube
thingies on a little sattelite I'm making! :)
But we need more pictures, please. This is a large moc with a lot going on, and
it's hard to tell with these two pics.

Looks good, too. You don't see much Ice Planet stuff, and this works great for
a themed mech. It looks kinda like a frog to me, though. Cool effect.

That looks very good, too. The bublous canopy area is a nice effect, as is the
big 'tri-wing' design.
The landing gear looks a bit spindly, though. I guess this is pretty
unavoidable when you have a high body, but just a note.
Does it retract?
Great stuff, although more pictures would be even better.
