Tell me about it... :}
The big problem with getting a slower walk is that minifigs have a very limited
range of motion. It's hard to get a smooth leg motion up and over then next
LEGO stud in front of them, and getting them in a transitional step (both feet
off studs) makes them very unsturdy. But then, the minifigs look so cute and
cartoonish I kind of like the way they zip across the baseplate at 54000
studs/hour. (BTW, that's an accurate calculation. Anyone know what the scale
speed is?)
I just got my first Technic figures for Christmas, and I'm having much better
results with them. They have an incredible range of motion, and can hold
awkward positions with amazing stablilty. Haven't done anything cute with them
yet, but I'm working with them.

| Great movies! I´ve only downloaded one when I´m writing this, but I´ll watch the others as well. One of my dreams too has to be able to make stop-motion films of lego-models. Especially with my classic space minifigs, my moon landscape and my (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)
