Thanks! I'm pretty satisified with the end result - not bad for "my first
mecha-with-legs", at least. I've been looking at some of the excellent posable
skeletons on Brickshelf and that looks like a tempting direction to head in,
although it might involve sacrificing the pilot.

They were certainly the hardest part to build, but the end result is pleasingly
non-technic. OK, the worms and beams are exposed, but the worm runs down the
back of the leg like an achilles tendon, which suits the kind of 'muscled' look
I was going for with the limbs.

I kind of wish I'd abandoned it because it would have made the construction and
posing a lot more pleasant. The cockpit itself was really easy to build, after
experimenting with different ways to hold a figure in a true cylindrical plug
(using the 4x4 endcaps and half cylinders. The current solution has a nice
straightforward tiles and bricks design, although you need to use SNOT to get
the end to be properly closed.
However, once I'd got the cockpit and pelvis I was kind of stuck in one
particular course of building. I think it was a blessing and a curse really.
Thanks for the comments,
Will
