Here are some works in process pics that I have taken. I have appreciated the comments. If you have more please let me know.

Side Note Rant: While I am not building or looking at LEGO bricks, I don’t really care that LEGO changed a few colors. Then I sit down and build and I think ... “This is so UGLY! What the #@$#%%^#$ were they thinking!” I have come to the conclusion that if LEGO wants crappy looking MOCs then I am NOT going to match the colors. I hope one day the powers that be at LEGO will be looking browsing my Brickshelf folder, see a MOC they like ... click on the picture ... and realize they have made a horrible mistake and change all the colors back!

Completed Hip. I like the feel the wedges give to the hips but
I don’t like all the seams for the different pieces.
For simplicity I am going for symmetry.

Hip without the body connector.



Bottom of the body connector.



Overall opinion

MOVEMENT: I like the track idea and will probably stay with it, even
though I feel it makes the legs a little too bulky for the given picture
but I guess that is where I am differnt.


LEGS: Progressing well but not finalized.


Hips: Finished. I like how these turned out. I just wish LEGO made this
piece inverted.


LMKWYT!
