I had tried to use them on the legs, but it just didn't look quite right.
They worked out good enough as wings, I think :)

I had no choice with the thin look, I didn't have that many orange pieces!
However, it does give it a lithe, athletic look.

The shoulder joints are, and yes, they are pretty fragile. The hips are 2
of the 1x4 hinge plates, and 1 1x5 finger hinge plate.

I've seen other designs for the single eye, but I think this works out well,
and is very simple too. Let me tell you though, it was a real trick to
figure out how to mount a 1 brick thick head onto a 2x2 turntable without
being able to use a 1x2 plate with single stud.

Those are some nifty little mecha. The page made me very very glad I have
DSL though!
