It seemed awkward for me at first, Danny, but surprisingly I got used to it.

The central structure component or the leg mainframe as I have come to call it,
is extremely strong. The biggest structural issue I had was with centering the
turntable on the mainframe. This was due to the fact that only 2 studs were
holding it in place. My solution using the technic axle to go from the under
side of the mainframe, through the turntable and up into the torso proper is
quite stable. I have picked it up by the mainframe multiple times without any
disasters.

Yes, Danny, they are. I get such a kick out of doing it after combat. It is a
lot of fun!
