They both look great. I especially like the Gamir Gundam, since it bears such a close resemblance to the V2. Good job. 8)

I'm officially going on Hiatus due to some overly rude and exuberant behavior of mine regarding frankening in the past few days. I feel the need to step back at the moment, cool my jets, and rest.

It may just be me, but I think I just want to center on Rping for now.

Note the that thread will still remain open.

:? I thought your recent stuff was pretty great!! Nothing wrong with being a little ambitious is there??
I'll be waiting to see the new stuff when it shows up!

I thought your version of the custom Zaku looked better...but don't tell anyone i said. And don't anyone besides TBZ read this...

Quoted for emphasis. BTW, it was a Hi-Zack. 8)

Anyway, Big Z, you take a nice, long rest. Do some RP'ing, go into rehab for the Mountain Dew problem (Try drinking Crab Juice) and when you're ready, come back and Franken like there is no day after tomorrow!

Yeah, you need the break. A good rest can really get the creative juices flowing again. And when you come back, your designs could be better than ever. 8)

Though I have to wonder why you decide to take a break right around the time a Franken Contest is going to start...

YMX-106 Federal Test MP Mobile Suit : Faux Zaku

What started out (MANY moons ago) as an alternate UC Zaku, turned into my idea of an agressor MS that later morphed into the YMS-106 Hi-Zack of AOZ Fame.

It actually looks better than the actual Hizack. Nice job, Big Z.

How do you come up with this stuff...? Again, you've created another good design out of thin air. :shock:

Anyways, great work on the design. I guess a Simmons format of the GM III or Nemo is in the works? :)

Broadsword Mk II

This one is a cleaned up version of one of my first Frankens. Even today, I still think it's one of my better attempts.

I would have to agree. I like the design too, and if I ever go nuts and try a franken of my own, I'm likely to steal that head. It's that cool.

I like the design as well. The legs are awesome, and it just works perfectly with that design. Mind if I use some parts from this on some future Frankens?

That head turned out especially well and blue-and-white color schemes always rock.

I like the head part, but I can't say I'm a huge fan of the rest of the body. It looks like a gundamized Bailent from Gundam X

It looks a bit on the top heavy side as well, but its still very well done. I'm not much of a fan for the large skirt armor, but it works somewhat.

Everyone needs WoL on their MS these days. This got me wondering that why is it that CE mechas (and GW of course) so often go for the winged theme... it's not as if that fits your average MS as a logical extension.
But I am getting sidetracked. :) The Tauron is pretty sweet and looks UC as it should. I agree that it looks a bit top-heavy but maybe it's a space unit in which case it wouldn't be as bad.

Well, the furvor of the mixed leg reviews got me to rethinnking the design of the T [In]. Thusly, this was the result.
