Hello to y'all! I've been hanging around on Lugnet for quite some time, enjoying your creations every day. I did some postings with the first Classic Space contest, but I doubt that anyone still remembers the entries. Time to change all that, it's (...)

Hey Jamie, the arms are actually pretty highly posable. the sholder rotation is the best and it is strong. The elbow needs a little saran wrap on the end of the anntena ball to make it nice and stiff, but now it can hold those huge guns! As for (...)

Thank you David! I made the upper arms short and made the forearms elongated as sort of my homage to the Bubblegum Crisis suits.
