This is good, I like it. It’s small, it’s beefy (great shoulders), it’s not

Thanks Tobias. The shoulders fell into place right after I got the orientation
of the dino tails right. I just sort of took it from there.

Just when I had seen Brayton’s hardsuit and thought that anything but
clip/handle plates and 1*1 taps were useless for building small, you proved
me wrong - this uses a lot of larger plates and minifig legs as hands (which
really work for this MOC), which contribute to the robust, sturdy, “don’t
mess with me” feel.

Yeah, I try all the time to make narrow joints that only occupy on stud’s width,
and it usually doesn’t work out. Brayton did a great job of the “small piece
tech” with his suit. As for this one, I felt it needed bigger surfaces and what
have you. Glad it works.
