Did you really get a 20 inch mech to support its own weight using only rotating

No, really?
That’s a rather tricky thumb, as well. So you say both the heel and the toe
pivot? Maybe future pics will make this more clear. I love that foot, though,
the way those slopes mesh. I particularly like that “rounded plus-sign” part
used on the instep.
Great color for a monochrome mech, I really miss that old dark gray. It has
that high-quality, high-tech look. Love that snotted slope work on the legs,
too.
I’m painfully aware that the rotating click hinge provides only two axes of
rotation, however I would have liked to see a solution that would allow the Cub
to throw back its shoulders (as if sticking its chest out). I think that would
allow for a more natural stance. You’ve got a waist joint, so I would imagine
you could still balance it. Just a thought.
Nice work, Eric! I want to try out a new hip design soon, but once I get the
hips to work I think I’ll start next with the feet, like you did here.
