I think there may be no limit to the level of refinement in lego model design
one can attain. That's sort of a scary concept, isn't it, but we see that
in many other areas of technology, computers, cars... "any sufficiently
advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic".

Yes, the use of technic turntables on the hips and shoulders increased the
motion range over my earlier designs, though a lot of that range will
give unbalanced poses (the action happens when the massive gundam keels over).

I still have to do a satisfactory rebuild of 01, the red gundam, into 05.
As for the subsequent giant robots, they will be a bit bigger with new
technology.
