Hey MP! ya, I agree, ....and that's what made it so fun! I also like how
it's mounted on a ball joint.

The rest of the mech is quite nicely built as well, Eric. I gotta ask
though, how stable is the mecha? I'm wondering cause I wanna copy the
legs... gah! :-D

Well, the inner part (closest to the body) is a little floppy. But I did
manage to make a new stiffen technique.

In this picture:

See how the sign paddels are pushed into the pin holes through the sloped
technic beams. The stick ends of the paddels push up agaist the ball and
some friction is created. I tested it with and without. It does add
friction. Not bad for an "end of MOC discovery"

Oh, also, BTW, what exact purpose does the groin mounted faucet serve?
Wait... Nevermind. ;-)

Heh heh, I wanted to use that part so bad it ended up there. If you flip it
upside down so it stands at attention, it's like it has one nut.

Mladen Pejic, over and out!
