The ball joints work nice for pose-ability, but they are not the greatest at
stability.  It takes a few minutes to stand-up and it will stand against
most jarring of the table.

Enjoy,

Jim, I really dig this mech. The legs, the front cannons, the bend in the main body are all well excecuted. The only thing I would change (not that you asked) would be the canopy. I don't get it when people make these super-armored walking death (...) (22 years ago, 12-May-03, to lugnet.build)

The uber-cool vulcan guns make another appearance! Yay! They look even better on this model. The design is (IMHO) somewhat unrealistic, but it's the frickin' cool sort of unrealistic.
