That is a great feeling. Now we can see your completed work and imagine the time
and effort it must have taken you. Congradulations!

Your very welcome, and thank you. Tell us, what was your experience in learning
to build the hands? Very nice how you learned from the pictures and using the
parts to create the movement.
Also, what are your thoughts about the center section? The torso has many
techniques to compose the structure. What was it like for you to build this
section?

They treads area nice design, and yes smaller width (2x) will roll better.

Can I help? What kind of set up are you using? I looked at the pictures.
I know of a few ways that might help.
