Thank you.

  
   I do have an LDraw file on it, but unfortunately it currently shows how this feat can’t be done.

That reminds me of the economist who saw a system working in practice, and wondered whether it would also work in theory.

Um, you may be confusing the chicken and the egg here. I actually made the LDraw file first, then attempted to make the wings in real life. Unfortunately one of the things that LDraw can’t simulate is gravity. I soon discovered that if I put the pieces together as in the LDraw file, there’d be some pieces that weren’t actually connected to other pieces as well as I thought. A couple of minutes brainstorming and experimentation led to the correct result, however.

Oh, and as promised, pictures of my BrikWars mech (though you’ll have to wait for the folder to be moderated before you can see them).
