I've been working on and off since last October on a camel with rider, dimensions 8"w x 22"l x 30" high. I thought a camel would be a challenge because the legs are so spindly; this is the first piece I've built with a Technic armature (mostly a (...)

(...) There's a kind of trestle bridge inside the torso. It's not large but serves the (probably) crucial purpose of distributing the weight onto the legs. Then the legs each contain a long Technic beam attached to the trestle and pointing downward (...) (21 years ago, 6-Aug-03, to lugnet.build.sculpture)
