Thanks! It was only my second time to use ball joints on a mech. The first
time was the Locust, which has been revamped and is awaiting pictures. I'm
liking what I'm seeing.

Thanks again. *gasps* But it DOES have knee joints! I think you mean ankle and
hip joints. The Warhammer turned out much better than I had expected, but it is
up for remodeling. I have several ideas for things on it.

Yup, but I used up alot of greeblies on my other 28 mechs :<( A soon-to-be
bricklink order could help on the lack of parts. Like I said, this is only the
first iteration of the Warhammer, I'm hoping to re-do parts of it soon. Adding
more detail and movement are major goals, as it seems kind of 'plain' at the
moment. I am pretty pleased with the form, and the coloring is kinda cool for
it too. Thanks for the ideas.

Thanks again. I keep remodeling all the mechs, as I keep discovering new ways
to do things and make em look better. It seems to have worked so far, and I'm
quite pleased with most of them.

Oh, geez, sorry. I feel your pain, as people mess up Wilhelm all the time too.
Thanks again for the comments.
