I'm working on a playable Mecha for my Adventure Extension, and I need help in designing its arms, and a wannabe Gundam head. Its weapons by the way are a beam sword and a LazSprayer (a handgun that can fire 7 laser beams, much like a shotgun).

Back Story of the Mecha:
Kanzaki Industries' subsidiary named Hakodate Wear-Gears created their first mobile suit named SMS-F1. The prototype design was a bastard child of Gundam and some Super Robot. They decided to throw away their first Wear-Gear off to space...

HK, DoGA has a library of premade parts, and some of them is about mecha. :o

My advise would be to look up lots of photos of armor helmets and arm joints. If you have some legos break them out and build something that kinda looks like what you want and use that as a base. This is what i do and it helps a lot.

I'd like to offer more help than that but your modeling skills are a good deal better than mine.

One thing i noticed now that i have looked at the model some more. The torso could be longer, the arms will either hang to low or be very short with the shoulders where they are now.
