   (...) with it at first, but it just keeps looking cooler and cooler. I'll definitely have to re-think how I do toes now. :-, What's really cool is that the Toad is, like, only 2 or 3 pieces away from being a WH40K Space Marines Dreadnaught -- but (...)

        Re: Finally!!! —Jeremiah VanderMark
   (...) Thanks! Yeah, the Toad started out as part of a feeble attempt at making some 40k stuff. Nothing really cool turned out, but I reworked the quasi-dreadnought and got this. I'm pretty happy with it now. -Jeremiah- (24 years ago, 17-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)
   
        Re: Finally!!! —Eric Joslin
   (...) It does indeed capture a lot of the aspects of the Dreadnaught. Are the arms built on technic pin joints? That would make swapping them out really, really easy. Hmmm.

   (...) It's funny, I was just looking at pics of that shortly before I posted what I did... I've done exoskeletons like this before, too.
