Wow.  Awesome weaponry on this monster.  All the detail is fun to look at -
a great addition to the Neumann brand of mecha.

Does it stand well by itself?  Looks like it might be a bit wobbly.


Yep, actually it stands very well.  Very solid.  Even when tipped way
forward or backwards.  Or swinging actually.  My biggest problem is getting
the tail to stay together when I whack it against something, which is almost
everytime I move the beast.  I'm very proud of this, DW is carried by the
thighs, not by the hip which is the case in almost all of my other mechs.  I
made the hip mechanism extra strong, and the horizontal articulation is
controled by a pair of dual worm gear boxes.
