Hi Paul,
Thanks for the supportive words, man!
With the small robot joints, there are a few 'illegal moves', involving
cutting the top off joysticks, putting them in a piece of technic pipe,
putting that in another little piece of technic (don't know what it's
called) and sticking the whole lot into a 1x1 cylinder. You do have to
modify, but those joysticks are really cheap from shop at home.
With the 'chainsaw holder', I'm using an old style technic bush, which fits
nicely onto any stud. Then a metal detector with the angled piece cut off.
They make beautiful 'Aliens' style big guns, and all you need to sacrifice
is a metal detector.
Take care,
Pete
