There's a scan of the instructions for a T-Rex-like Zoid at:
http://www.tiac.net/users/zoids/
Looks like the standard Tomy walking toy mechanism: two flat feet with
pins fore and aft that stick in past the centerline, so it can stand,
semi-stable at least, on one foot.
Since the "pull-back" method is going to be either extremely tedious, or
downright impossible, for a walker, an alternative winding method is
needed. The "Bungee Chopper" uses a neat trick with a gear that swings
out of the way when the "motor" runs down. You could use that to disconnect
the leg drive mechanism while winding the motor.
