(...) Thanks. :-) Wait until phase two of my master plan... (...) It was actually very interesting to see if the artist's design really worked as a real 3D object. The artist got the leg posture in the image slightly warped. The leg on the left side (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
