Overall its got merit. As with all Mecha, part of the challange is
engineering it to stand. Most Mecha Models are inherently a little unstable,
but that’s just ‘cause the models aren’t alive. So if you get em’ to stand
long enough to shoot photos, your golden.

Especially if you can get them to do it in a cool pose :) I find that I can’t
bring myself to compromise on the range of motion in the joints, which
unfortunately means that they also are more unstable.
I did discover that a couple of layers of paper between the ball and socket
helps stiffen up ball joints a lot, and that ankle joints need to be the
stiffest of all.

Whoa, the hands are a trip. The feet are especially cool.

Thanks. I’m rather pleased with the hands as well. It still amazes me how much
potential there is within basic parts like hinge plates and tiles.

Nice job!
Now can we go back in time so I can steal the “Prawn” design?

But if you went back in time the prawn wouldn’t exist and you wouldn’t be able
to steal it. ;) Either way, steal away.
Thanks for the response
