Thanks, Todd. Actually, I used friction pins at the shoulder and hip. I like the click-hinges because they allow me to make incremental poses, so I usually use them at joints that don't require more than 90 degrees of movement. I suppose I could (...)

Hey John! It looks great. You seem to be able to capture the "husky" mecha feel very well. Another thing you could do for some variation is slap a minifig head w/helmet on there and it would look like powered armor. I'm definitely going to examine (...)
