(...) Well, a very, very small one, perhaps. But otherwise I was quite happy to see that it fitted very nicely. On the other hand, there _is_ a gap just in front of the 6L sloped technic beam. So that pilot needs to wear a space suit, I suppose! :-) (...) (26 years ago, 10-Nov-98, to lugnet.build)

To get a really good idea, examine skeletal and muscular structures of animals. All animal limbs use ball & socket joints. This can be reproduced in lego. To simulate muscles, the best way is to use the Flex system. Study the movements of a dog or (...) (26 years ago, 7-Nov-98, to lugnet.build)
