(...) How do you measure that kind of thing, anyway? I mean, I believe you, I do.... But that is a sweet idea.

Very clever Dr. Snead! That little slit just needs that wire huh...interesting! Another anadote (sp?) from the Dr.! So, you were able to get those poses using that technique, pretty neat.

(...) I've been working on a couple of things. Mostly, doing more R&D on joint systems. Here's a new (?) way to stiffen those 1x4 plate hinges: 1) Find yourself som wire.

Thanks Mark. Well, we haven't had our game yet (it's not until the middle of next month - I'm notoriously lax in having my forces ready in time, so I'm starting early).

I thought this was a fine first mech. The next few things you might want to work on is softening up the edges a little bit, and make the legs a little more mobile.
