I really like the operator figure (both the sculpt and the paint job), but while the paint job on the mech is nice and clean, I don't much like the sculpt--well, at least the feet, anyway (that mech is going to be fairly immobile once it steps off a paved surface). Rob |

Is that dude supposed to somehow fit inside the mech? Doesn't look likely. Doug |

Yes, the narrow waist means the upper torso is too small to fit a guy inside. |

The operator looks brilliant in that pseudo X-wing pilot scheme.
The mech does look strange with micro head,light weight lower limbs and small ammo box .
Actually it makes more sense military wise having a compact head ,minimal legs to just get in a firing position and slow hard hitting single shot ammo that is easier to handle being mechanically fed to the gun.
Looks like brushwork too which has come out really well to give a rugged look with cool shading here and there and odd highlights on the edges of the lighter shades showing up well. |

Would make a damn fine war droid, I think the pilot is just for a size comparison.
Paintjob is as good as always. |

It is a 15mm mech and as such would be piloted. I believe it would be feasible to use it as a 28mm robot – remotely controlled. Pilot figure is for comparison as Lardie suggests. |
