1) Does anyone know how the back foot (horizontal) clips are attached

Tony, thanks a lot for those links...I thought my question was rather
rudimentary but I'll cross post nextime. ;-)  Those are some awesome
designs.  In regards to the clip attachment, however, I don't think that's
what he did in the kudryavka.  From
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=335158, it doesn't look like
1x1 headlight (http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/4070) could be used because
there's only 2 plates between the hinges.  I guess if it had been rotated 90
degrees in 'prototype2' it might fit (guess I should test that out).

2) Do ya know where those dark grey hinge plates come from?
No clue.
Actually I answered my own question ;-P ...there's 16 pairs in the
Excavation Searcher.
But I bet you find them on http://www.bricklink.com though.
Probably best bet there.

Possibly [...] Everthing on hardsuits mechs have to be there for a purpose and they
have to be small. The major challange of any small mecha designer is to get
the most posablity with the smallest package.
Good point...need to keep that in mind. ;^)

Chris started the PCS and all his stuff is SOLEY trans clear, not smoke. I
would stick to that.
Actually, in the PCS Guidelines (http://news.lugnet.com/space/?n=21117-had
it bookmarked cause it's "far back" now) Chris said that he would be using
*curvy* smoke, but since the POD has straight glass, I'm *assuming* that a
small suit could use straight smoke (I should check with the Commodore though).

3c) Furthermore, how about the function for this guy?  I just think it would >fit PCS well.
You need a mobile platform on planets and moons that have a higher
gravitational pull then Earth that could turn a human skeleton into jell-o.
You create super robust humanoid mechs with negative gravational fields in
the cockpits to get you around.
EXCELLENT!

"Does anyone know if that "Virtues" mech suit is from anything?"

Maschinen Krieger. A FREAKING AWESOME series of small hardsuit models that
have been constantly made since the 80's. They are a retro-future,
industrialist view of mecha technologly that clashes with the fancy better
known mecha of the genre.
FREAKING AWESOME INDEED!  Intricate and organic...that's neen!

Jun Nishizawa and Hiroki Nakanishi seem to work in
simmilar styles if you look here...

NEAT stuff...had only viewed his "SNOW" before now.

There you go. I think I suffiently answered all mecha questions. You ought
to stop into build.mecha more often and give some 'big-ups' to me and my
'peeps' and see what we have brewing.

Yes, thanks for those responses.  I definitely will stop by build.mecha more
often (I'm new to posting) and hopefully learn some expert tips on ideas
(soon)!  That stuff is spectacular!

ciao for now
