Great articulation. Everything is wormed. It should be able to do some unusual
poses that not even the one in the example picture could do, since its legs look
like they just have the equivalent of a ball joint at the hip.
I like how you did the knee, joining the lower leg to the worm frame directly.
I’ve never tried it that way.
The rotation joint above the knee might be a weak point since it isn’t locked
together vertically. I can see how it might pull apart.
I’m not sure what will happen if you double or triple the weight. Better be
careful to keep it light.
Remember that the heels take some of the load off, so you might want to add them
before you decide that some particular joint is too weak.
