Joe, thanks for posting this and encouraging me to "decloak"! While I've posted a few messages to SW, robotics, and some of the CAD groups I've not yet introduced myself. Well, here goes ...

If you consider that LEGO uses existing pieces where they can, I can imagine each foot would use one of those tiny "saucer" pieces like the AT-ST foot, or the Millenium Falcon landing gear.
