So I love everything about this mech except it's model! I would like suggestions on parts to switch out the arms and the legs.

No I dig the art I just feel the sculpt is too static and the ppc arm is too small. Suggestions on another arm I could swap it for?

I think the PPC arm is alright but I do agree about it just standing . . . but I only adjust the plastics.

I changed the large laser to a PPC for this mod.

Did you cut the barrels on a IIC's LPLs?  B/c that looks like just the plain Guillotine.

Plain Gillie.  Was just showing an example of what could be used.

It's not a IIC, but I was tired of the static Guillotine pose. Before the plastic mini came along, I removed the legs, and subbed those from a DA industrialmech. I think it came out pretty good. Something to think about.

Yeah, the IIC is not really any better about the pose than the original GLT . . . I did adjust a plastic on, but yours is much more dynamic.

Any suggestions on leg swaps for it? From the IWM range?

The legs and waist from the Omni Centurion look like a decent match.  I forgot if they are adjustable though.
