Well, the shoulder is those techinc flex joints from the arms of the divers
sets, the arms inside the space shuttles, etc...; and the elbows are these
too, but for the very first pic (the one labled "pose") I used some
seran(sp?) wrap  to get the arms to stay up, but for all the other pics ther
was none... The thighs are throwbots balljoints; the knees are the old 1x2
hinges, with no studs on top; and the ankles have these too, and techic pins
for lateral movement...

It's defiantly my most articulated mecha, and if you play with it enough,
and get in a good pose, it can stay there for weeks...

Thanks. I was going to make this be a diff product, and make sure it fit my
other mechs, but It has allready been assilimated into my spare parts to
make my battle cruiser...

Hehe, depends on your position! If you are a president you get a WHOLE lot
more money than the mechanics you know? ;-)
