Wow it is very well done.  I especially like the head and ankle guards.  I also
see we come to same idea of using red wedge 2 x 6 for the foots.  Does it stand
stably on those click hinges?

well, sort of.  i had to stiffen the click hinges by placing some metal wire
between the plastic tabs (which is a reversible process, by the way).  i also
had to add a couple of 1x1 clips on top of the ankle guards to keep the model
from tipping forward (click hinges are strong, but not that strong).  but all in
all, the is the most stable model i've built.

You should have cross-posted to announce.moc.  I almost missed it.  i think i'll try that.  thanks for the tip.
