Mecha V1

On the back of the torso there are a set of two thrusters, which move independently on L shape Technic pieces.

The shoulder coverings move up and down to allow for movement of the arms. The head can move up and down and rotate.

I am not expecting this model to get too many supporters. It's too large, too fragile and not part of a theme. I'm using this design, which I built a couple of years ago to give me an idea of what people want in a design and how I can improve, so as much feedback as possible would be appreciated, whether it be about the model, photography or my concept below.


The concept

With the feedback I hope to start work on a new mecha theme. I want to incorporate an easy system of swapping parts between models, while making sure that the joints are strong enough to hold a pose. This parts swapping idea would allow children/adults to create their own individual mecha, but also encourage them to create their own parts. The overall design of the theme would keep to a similar aesthetic as this model but at a smaller scale, between 15-20cm. I have yet to decide if I want to include space for minifigures. Again, any feedback you can give is welcome.
