Hmmm, I tihnk I've just found my next project. I was going to try a
motorised kangaroo mech, but this sounds easier.

Ho yes!
I only hope my rather diminutive supply of yellow slopes holds out. Looks
like the UCS TIE is going in the parts bin to free up more dark grey. Dark
grey and yellow go very nice together.

That was born more from necessity than design. If I did it again I'd
probably try something different.

Thanks Mark. I did do a couple of small models to test the mech waters, so
to speak. They were good lessons on how to place articulation points,
particularly the little P-suit. They're on my brickshelf folder if you're
interested.

ps. a side note to Eric while I'm here - I reworked a few things last night
after reflecting on your comments (another 2 am'er... <huuuge yawns>). I
beefed up the shoulders a bit and while I'm not sure it looks significantly
better it certainly sealed up the second ball joint nicely. The ball
connecting to the torso is still a little exposed, but I don't think I can
hide it without compromisng it's freedom of movement. The mech can touch
it's opposite 'ear' at the moment. I like that.
I also rebuilt the thighs to make them stronger. As an added bonus, the hips
now have a far greater range of movement :)
good photos soon...
