Thanks, Kyle. In the next day or so, I'll add pics that shed more light on the
hand, foot, ankle, gun, and saber designs.

When I started the project, I was aiming for something along the lines of the
less flashy, more practical military style mecha such as Gundam Wing's Leo,
Armored Core or Front Mission types. But I encountered stability issues as I
added plating and had to tone it down, so I settled for a
Battletech/non-tansforming Macross style. The finished product is a little off
balance as it is- mostly from the weight of the shoulder sections.
Later,
Todd
