Mars Mission - Mining Mech

When this challenge came up, I took a look at my shelves to see what I could do that would stand out a bit in terms of theme, and I spotted Mars Mission set 7646, the ETX Alien Infiltrator, and spotted the little mech. I have always found the mech charming, but thought it could definitely use with a modernization and some more articulation. With my submission, I intended to do so.

I used Mixel ball joints, as I quite like the amount of articulation they give a mech like this. Unlike the original mech, this one can actually be put in a walking pose! The little flying machine on the back was omitted however, as I thought it was unnecessaringly bulky-looking.

Instead of including aliens, I made this a good-guy only model, with an added mineral deposit as I imagine it could look on Mars.
