He's obviously a little forward heavy but no, I didn't have to add any
counterweight. His center of gravity is about 2 studs from the front of his
toes. I built the legs first though and initially only used friction pins to
hold them to the hips. That didn't last very long. :) Once I started his
torso/head it became immediately obvious that the friction pins weren't strong
enough to keep him from keeling over. Hence the gears.
