LMKWYT,

I know this was mainly a "big joint" showcase project, but I really like the
hand design, specifically the part the fingers are mounted on.  I can't remember
ever seeing that before.

Overall, it's a really interesting mix of Battletech and Gundam that results in
a mech that looks different from just about anything else out there.

My only suggestion would be more armor cladding on the thighs.  It looks like
your joints can take the weight, and I think it would help connect the chest
with the calves.  Then again, that could be my personal taste in favor of
blockiness.

Cool mech!
