Kevin,
Ah! Your the 'Go Saints' guy. I'm still suffering from Packer
withdrawals...
Yes the legs are jointed. Using beams with holes, it has one forward
'knee' and one backward 'knee' for each leg (if that makes any sense).
It's mounted to the body at 2 points, one stationary swivel peg and one
offset on a 24T gear, (going to have to figure out Ldraw one of these
days). The foot hangs on swivel 'ankle' pegs. The whole arrangement is
like the cartoon boxing glove gag / scissors effect. The small
rotational movement at the gear, generates a larger movement at the
foot.
I was calling it a 2-toed sloth but it could look starwars AT-ish with
some imagination...
