Fair enough, (exactly what I do as well) but I'm just voicing the flip side (...) (19 years ago, 11-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| | | | (...) Not so. Greeblings and SNOT work are both directly related to style and design. Articulation is more about the mechanics, and while it can effect design, it isn't the focus of design. The specifics of how the SNOT work is done (ie, using 1x1 (...) (19 years ago, 11-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| | | | | (...) Exactly so, the articulation structure will directly influence the exterior design. Not unlike muscle and skin on bone. It determines size, shape and flow. Not unkike how hidden SNOT work does the same. And more often than not, the gearing (...) (19 years ago, 11-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

If all the joints are the same as a previous model, then it doesn't seem like progress even (...) (19 years ago, 11-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
