That’s really cool. I never tried kitbashing and painting (too messy for me) but I did dabble in building mecha out of Lego back in the day. Getting them fully articulated and proportional was a challenge, and I especially loved trying different methods of making hands.
The coolest one I ever built was about 15cm tall, fully poseable, and fit a minifig pilot.
I still have all that lego, but nowhere to set it up, so I haven’t built anything in years. :(
I tried getting back into Lego for a while before switching to Gunpla/mecha models. Lego was starting to get expensive and I had a friend who was pushing me to give Gunpla a try. Your guy looks pretty cool, though. My goal was to build my own custom mecha.

I got most of mine through second-hand bulk lots from kids selling their collections after they thought they grew out of them. Fools!
