Hi Shawn!

Well, here are a few more pics of the 1/32 Legioss head I'd promised you, thanks to a freshly-recharged battery!

Indeed you were correct: the components of the head are separate, as you will see in the included pictures. The head and the nosecone/cockpit area are, in my esteem, areas worth putting a little extra detail in. Since there's no hard reference for the internal mechanism of the head/sensor area, I'm basically ad-libbing.

I know there's a color schematic of the Legioss and Mospeada under-the-skin that was printed on certain model box-tops, but I can't seem to get a hold of a good scan(!) of either, so if you should know anyone who might have acces to it, please feel free to point me in their direction.

In the meantime, I'll postpone working on the head-internals and continue to plot the other components of the torso. My main reference for proportions is the Imai 1/72 Armo-soldier and fighter, as I feel these are the very best/nicest Legioss models available in any scale... The 1/48 transformable being horribly disproportionate and just plain U-G-L-Y!:) I'm also going to eyeball some aspects of the 9" toy, which I feel has some interesting shapes to it.

I'll be keeping you posted with regular updates!

Regards,

John F. Moscato
