Yeah, well, I just went nuts for the skirt armor. I personally like that effect,
but I agree it looks a little long. Thank you!

Thank you! I wasn't trying to copy the KoG exactly, but it was the only one I
had reference pics for at the time.

Standard ball and socket joint. Glad you like them, they were fun to build.
