Just a couple of comments. First, that is a great idea for the toes! I like
your style of having two or three toes fanned out claw-style, but I didn’t
like how it seemed to flatten the feet out, I always thought they’d look
better with a little more height, which this new design provides. As an
aside, I like to over-build the feet and calves on mechs, because it’s kind
of “free weight”. Foot weight doesn’t stress any of the joints, and calf
weight only stresses the ankle. So you can add visual (and literal) weight
with very little additional joint stress.

thanks for that. I messed with the feet and thought wow, that actually looks
ok.

Second, if I’m reading this right, you’ve come up with a fully-wormed three
axis hip design that fits in a relatively compact package. How do you keep
yourself from calling in sick to work so you can stay home and work on it?

I fein sickness. No, actually I don’t work at all and sort of “space-out” and
think of Lego. Strangely I get more work done those days... :)
