To be honest, I was a bit unsure about the color scheme. But as a lifelong *BattleTech*/*MechWarrior* fan (since the late 80s), this model was an absolute must-have for me; that’s why I ordered this MOC along with a "Rifleman," which I’ll be building next. Note: There is no card with a QR code included for downloading the instructions—the code is on a sticker on the outer packaging! And what a build it is! I’ve rarely worked with building blocks of this quality; the clutch power and surface finish are outstanding! That is absolutely essential for making the build enjoyable. There are many connections involving just a single stud, though most of them get stabilized as the build progresses. Plus, it employs many ingenious building techniques that really made me smile. An outstanding MOC!
