M4 Paladin Mechanized Armor System

I love the whole head area.
Like I said, I like the feet- but a cheese slope here might look good
OMG sucks.
(jk)
This makes that "eye" fit in very well with the rest of the MOC IMO.
Unfortunately, the way the foot is attached makes it impossible.
That's the main reason I put it there. :P
Hm, maybe a cut flex tube and a hand?

Based on this awesome hardsuit by Chuck. Fits a (bald) 'fig. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be Bricklinking the parts to build one or two more of these guys for Brickworld deployment. Preemptive apologies for the craptastic gauss rifle.

This is nifty. Seems to be a smaller scale than Chuck's, but I like it. Looks more "Robotic" than his I think.

Yum. I don't dig the feet in this case, but it's still cool. I hopefully will see a squad of these guys in the AMCP!

Delicious. I, for one, dig the feet a lot. It reminds me of this

I feel that if it's bulky, it needs bulkier feet. They're also too simple for my taste. That's not to say I don't like the rest tho!

^ I agree about the feet, however overall this is one awesome suit. I can't believe how compact it is. Very well done Hawk.

I'm not quite so sold on the feet, and the color could be a bit more coodinated, but fav'd nonetheless! Really awesome.

Thanks!
Feet: This is, obviously, a rather polarizing topic. To those who liked them, well, I'm glad you do. To those who don't, I'll attempt to explain my rationale. Firstly, I'm quite fond of the whole "bulky mech with tiny feet" look (and, as Carter pointed out, so is Keith Thompson), but I suppose it's not something everyone likes. The real reason the feet ended up the way they did, though, is due to the fact that I was kind of in a hurry and had the ski pieces lying around, and I really wanted to use them.

The reason there isn't anything on that stud in the center of the foot is because the way the foot is attached to the leg prevents anything from fitting there,

Lukas also mentioned something about color: I had wanted the black parts to be grey, and the white parts to be tan, but I couldn't find enough in the proper colors. Meh.

Thanks to everyone who's commented so far, and to the ten people who've marked this as a favorite!

My only nit with the design is the gun, if it was attatched to the arm rather than held like a rifle....

otherwise it is a lovely little suit.

Everyone above me has said what I was going to say, so I'll say that I agree with everyone about the feet, some people about the rifle and its attachment, and most people about the mechanical feel and overall good job. The MOC is wonderfully crammed in the middle, makes it look very purposeful. For the ID, I give this a nice 8.5/10.
