Interesting Hip technique.

Thanks! Not entirely high-tech, but it works for now.

I assume that the friction caused by the three
plates and the 1/2 technic bushes would allow for posability especially where
the hip would only be moving in the x-plane.

There’s a bit, but not too much. It rotates pretty freely, with only light
friction.
I’ve worked on the structure a little more tonight, cleaning up the hip joint
and adding a foot. I’m right now in awe of you guys who can whip out a
complete, complicated, mechanically sophisticated, artistically beautiful design
in such a short time - this is tougher than I thought! Good topic for a
challenge.

Hip joint x-axis rotation:
Tonight’s progress can be seen in pics dsc03406-09 and 11-13.
There are still some big challenges ahead. I’m mostly finished with hip/leg
structure, but I need to beautify the form and coloring. THEN, build 3 more
just like it... And I haven’t tried tackling the torso yet. Have I mentioned
that I’m not sorted at all?
This is still lots of fun!!
Peace and Long Life,
Tony Alexander
