I will be setting up most of my completed models for an interview I am doing in
my new studio, later this week. Perhaps then I can arrange for some video
capture.
Jama won't get scraped. The head may be rebuilt, and the hip sure do need
redesigning, but the robot will live on.
Speaking of, I have to fix it up for some shows I have in the next couple of
weeks!

Thank you, I try to blend both worlds. I have always said, the small Bots teach
me about building Mecha, in turn, building Mecha teaches me to integrate
robotics concepts in to my creations. Then when I set out to build robots, the
lessons learned from both Bots and Mecha help me when buiding actual motorized
models.

Thank you!
P.S. Did I ever send you one of my original Jama Art Works? (not seen on
Brickshelf)
