Technic lends itself to cross reinforcement. Apart from gears, that’s one of the coolest things about it, the ability to lock everything together. You only need to be careful about not locking things together in a way that may cause a Lego part to break when stressed.

Also, when you skin a skeleton, if you build it in durable chunks that don’t atomize, then they just fall off as complete units and reassembly is simple. When you have something made out of nearly 5000 parts that only comes apart into a dozen chunks when it crashes down, it’s not a real disaster.

Sure, I’ll do some more group photos.
