Not only do you need to know the size of the Gundam, you also need to
determine the speed that the joints will move at. Some people use gear
driven joints, where moves slowly, but is very stable. Peg-type slots allow
for a full range of motion, but can often fall if the Gundam/Mech is hit
suddenly. There are also click hinges, which seem to be a mix of both, good
strength, but the joints end up weak if you don't build it right.
