Thanks !
   I was wondering, I guess you rely on the sole rotaional (non-friction) of the 4x4 turntable in the waist pivot. Had you considered using one of those micro motor mounts (with rubber insert) along with a 3L axle w/stud (and a 2x2 round plate) to create a measure of friction in that joint? Give it a try. Though you will have to raise the height around that joint to incorporate the components. Just an idea.

I’m not sure what pieces you’re talking about, Eric. Could you post some pics for me?

See the lt. gray part on the left:



When you use that set up it helps add friction to joints like this:



Or maybe you can use a technic ball joint for it’s rotational friction next time you try a similar set up if you want.

Either way I liked seeing what you made. Thanks!
