It depends on the width of the legs and the total weight of the model. If you
have thin legs (no more than 4 studs) and a light Eva, using several click
hinges in parallel will do the trick. Ebay is a good sources for large numbers
of click hinges, or the Star Wars and some of the Life on Mars sets. If you
have a heavier Eva with a Technic "skeleton" then anything from worm gear
combinations to standard pins raped in paper will do the job quite nicely. You
can also try using binocle pieces, but I have never been able to incorporate
them in a large mech, they don't have the strength to support large MS.

:) True for the most part, that is if you can even understand what has K done
in the first place. For the most part, I still do not understand what makes a
Dark Gundam.

Evangelion really should get more attention, but it has too much philosophy in
it to reach the wide masses.

What are you reffering to?

Sun Yun is planning to release his Eva 03 soon, here is the preview:

I also have 2 Evas under constructon, and I might even get a digital camera
today (upiiiiiii), so I will take a few pictures of them in their current
states. Even thoug both of them are very small, I thinking about creating a
larger one sometime down the road. In addition, there could be quite a few
other builders working on Evas.

Good luck with the project! I hope you will be able to share some pictures in
the near future!
