leaves between the legs.

I think that I will keep this model around and try to make some design
improvements.  I think the mecha chest area is too big.  The legs are also a
little too small.

Brickshelf wasn't working for me so I just made a few quick web pages.

Pretty cool, Pat. It's very difficult to create a transforming mecha that
works well, so I appreciate the difficulty of what you did there. :^)
