Zoinks!

That sir, is beautiful.
Not only are there inovations in this design. You really made the smallness
and the functions (joint placement and joint movement) gel together.
The feet! Wow!
|
One of the few things that didn’t change much as the design progressed.
Yeah, I know it’s similar to what’s gone before, but it fit, and I’ve never
built one myself.

The shoulders! The parts are great!
|
I wanted to use those dome pieces somewhere. I was initially trying to fit them
above the hips.
Thanks. It took enough goes to get them where they are.
I initially wanted to use the whole arm. Yeah it’s a cliche, but I’d never buit
one with them. After installing them though they were too big. After trying a
couple of other ideas I went back to the minifig hands and the scale was about
right.
Thanks.

The Hips! You have got to be kidding! That is genious!
|
Thanks, but to be honest it’s not entirely ‘pure’. There’s sticky tape around
the half pins to provide a bit of friction. O for Lego to make a half pin with
friction!
| |
The upper shoulder and leg rotation! Perfect!
As small as this design is, you hit every nail on the head.
Highlighted!
|
Thanks again Eric.
Cheers,
Allister
