Robocain's build is what gave me the gumption to attempt mine!  Excellent work.

Small update.  I try to think a few steps ahead throughout a build.  As I've gotten closer to having ED's lower half completed, I've been thinking about the body parts.  My original plan was to re-use the Horizon kit parts.  But my kit is 20+ years old and has warped over time.  I wasn't looking forward to repairing the parts honestly.  After much pondering I don't think I'm re-using the Horizon parts.  This leaves me with a clear impediment.

So I built a tool to help me reconstruct new body parts:

This build just took a sharp turn towards serious.
