Aw, dagnabit! I wanted to squeeze the horse pull harness part into my last
mech, but couldn't pull it off.
This looks great, Adrian, and a spectacluar first origami. He's got a good,
thin look, something I'm havng a hard time pulling off myself.
Are the shoulder and hip joints just 1X1 plates with clips on 1X2 plates
with handles? Do you find this overly fragile?
I also have got to get me some of them 2X2 domes...I particularly like where
you have used it for the head...a new use, I think.
There are some great orange models on the Zizy page from Japan
(http://www1.linkclub.or.jp/~zizy/index.html), if you want to compare
similarly colored models.
Good work!
Matt
