I set the proportions for an anime/comic book figure, not necessarily
reality, though I think she has a decent hourglass figure as is. I think
there are a couple of proportion problems, in that the feet are a bit too
large as compared to the head, and the head may be a bit small to the
overall figure, but lego does limit you in some ways. I couldn't make the
feet any smaller and get the hinges in the toes and lower ankle. Use of the
slope parts that make up the face sort of set the size of the head.
As for the narrowness of the hips, that was the goal. Most mecha designs
have pretty wide hips as compared to a human figure. When a human stands
straight, the inner thighs touch. In trying to acheive this, I deliberately
built the hips as narrow as possible.
