Wow, we used the same style canopies at the same time!
Two sets of fiber optics, nice to see those being used.

Hey wow, you have many many many many many pictures. Nice!
So this is your first large mech using gears?
I think you did well.
Even if you had to "reduce" or "dump it down".
I like the arms and legs. A lot.
Of course I like the head. :)
The neck seems like it needs a second pivot point.
This gave me some ideas.
I like how the Turntables look so nice.
I want those clear 5 hole pully wheels. Drool Drool I want those!
The color looks nice. Good choice. White with the black, and the smoke canopies
with lighting. If this is your first large Mecha, I am certainly looking forward
to your next creations!
When you "reduced" or "dump it down", when you made alterations to the design to
what we see now, did you have a bigger mid section, or torso area before?
I think the Faktor0a Mecha needs more center area tallness.
Perhaps you changed this to be smaller?
I know you said you were trying to counter the balance to make the Mech more
stable. I was just wondering.

You robot has a range of expressions, I like those finger tips. Great idea!
I also like the angles of your photos. Very interesting.
I think this means something in some language too:

Wow, that is a lot of photos. It helps to see all the techniques you used to
build the Mech. Do you upload them one at a time, or are you compressing them to
a Zip File, then uploading them all at once?

Congratulations. Well done! 6 month build! I can appreciate that!
If you use Throw Bot Gear Boxes with z40 gears, then bind the gear directly to
the Technic Beam, it is a strong way to make a joint. Good for ankles like you
have on this Mech.

.....and up and up and up!!!!! Yay!

I agree, both small and large things have their own challenges.
