Hunched over or on all fours?!? Sorry, but the wing weight in a position
like that would crumple
the torso before I could even pose IH. Without wings, it might be able to
perform a sumo squat,
but that's about it. With stronger arms, it should (in theory) be able to
perform a sprinter's
starting stance, but I won't attempt that on this model. It's a great idea
for a future model,
though. In my mind, it moves more like Godzilla with added shoulder weight
and no tail-faster
and a bit more gawky. A quadriped is on the drawing board for a future large
model, but I'm still
working on the basic design using what I've learned here.

I thought the same. I'll see what I can find. There are close to 100
pictures to sort through and
I've already put up the best of them. Leg detail is something I'm sure I've
got more pics of.
