Thanks. The hands are the yellow foam hands that come with the soccer sets.
A useless mech doesn't need articulated fingers. The shoulder hinge holes
are the new 2X2X2 clicking hinges(the ones from the new alpha team/slave
one). I love these pieces by the way. A little large for some places but
work great if you need a odd angle. The arm is attached to the shoulder with
a "bendy arm" hinge. The elbows and knees are stacked plate hinges. The feet
and hips are hinged with ball joints. The hips are slightly strengthened
with a small piece of tissue paper around the ball. I find the ball joints
give way too easily. The hips themselves are two bionible bodies with the
teeth locked together with a 8t spur gear. This made a more natural hip
flair. I'm glad you liked it. thanks for hosting the contest.
