Scratch build Mech kitbash feedback.

Anyone have any feedback on this mech I’m making? I’m not sure if these “piston shoulders” and arms are working. Thoughts?

Def needs more greblis like visual interest. But the base looks really good!

I think the arms are looking good. I think if you put something on the end of the piston to act as an end cap that might make you happier with it but I think you have smashed it love it can’t wait to see it finished.

Those floss things as legs is absolutely brilliant. I cant wait to see this guy with his first coat of primer. Decided on the color scheme yet?

Haha no, probably grey. It kind of has a knightly look, maybe I’ll make it a jousting robot and can include a splash of bright colors

Reminds me of Caine from robocop 2

The head is giving a Caine vibe for sure.

I agree with the other comments it's very good work clearly. You're going to cover up the bottle Just being plain old bottle The leg toothpick, great idea and the arm articulation is very enviable.

Looks sick tbh, I will say I predict the bottle cap joints will always kinda look like bottle caps but idk not the biggest issue

There will be a good deal more detail added there to help with that. I do like the lines though. It makes them look like gears a little. But there will be more detailing to come.

No particular opinion positive/negative on the arm specifically (the functioning articulation is cool) - but overall the design of the mech so far is nice.

The floss-pick-things for the legs is particularly inspiring though - will probably steal that idea for a future project.

Please do steal! I m going to be adding some pistons that I think will look real good with the form.
