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 to just above the knees. The lower parts of the legs have no Technic,
but do contain some 1x2x5 pieces to add stability to lateral shifts.

Any indication of how extensive the armature is? (...) (21 years ago, 5-Aug-03, to lugnet.build.sculpture)
