  Very cool. I've always been impressed with the way you balance
spindly-leggedness (is that a word?) with industrial-strengthitude
(definitely not).
  As Andrew said, the textures are great, and the cockpit is exactly the

nice approximation of a big piston-type actuator. Should be interesting to
see in the leg instructions.

  Great work!
