Hello Chris. When I first saw the powersuit my jaw dropped. Great colors,
love those dino tails, amazing arms and legs... But something started to
bother me. How does it walk? As far as I can see it cannot.
The Shen Kai is awesome in every other aspect but that bit sort of ruins it
for me since I put so much work into making my creations poseable / playable
I kind of hope to see the same in others MOCS.
My current projects sort of takes the little free time I have to build but
otherwise I wish I could spend some time building the Shen Kai to see if I
can come up with a way to keep the great look you got going but add some more
poseability. It actually makes me want to apply some of your ideas to my
first Power Armor, PA001. On another note, even if you used the color scheme
for the JE it would not have been complete without that sword. Take care
Chris.

Crap, I been found out. :-) Yeah, that’s the only thing that bugs me about my
“style” when I work in this size range. I’ve found the best alternative is to
(follow me here), turn the 1x1 tile w/ clip sideways, stick a headlight brick
on, and attach the 1x2 plate w/ 1 stud to that. Then it has effective hip
rotation, but that sends the legs about 2 studs farther apart, so they look
“stuck on the side” of the torso, rather than the more human way our pelvis
acts. And it’s a look I don’t like, so I find the compromise acceptable. But I
know what you mean, it does ruin some of the majesty of the creation. By all
means, reverse engineer and go to town. If you find a great way to do it, I’d
be glad to steal it. :-)
These are the kind of replies I love. Thanks David.
