Thanks guys. I feel its a definite improvement over my last anthropoid
effort, "Samson". I took Mark Sandlin's advice about detailing the back a
little more. I glad you liked my foot and hip designs. Ever since I got
those new ball joints I've been trying to get as many bricks with axle
specific holes as I can. I found 3 sets that you find get such peices. The
tank-treaded vehicle from the Dino Island theme has six lt. gray 2x2 single
pinned wheel-mounting plates. The little glider set has one lt. gray 2x1
axle-holed beam brick (not much for the money but its only a $6 set). The
LoM Mono-Jet at only 2 or 3 bucks has a whopping three white 2x1 axle-holed
beam bricks.Well, I hope that helps.
Later,
Todd
