Holy SNOT! That's amazing. So is Carl's for that matter... but yours is
pure, eh? I LOVE that inversion technique with the technic 1x4 roundend,
it's crisp.

I have used the brick hinge in the past for 90 degree rotation and find it
less than satisfactory as it has a tendency to rotate back up and come
disconnected. I think your approach using pins is better. Although the pins
themselves do not grip all that tightly, at least they do not rotate and
disconnect.
Very very nice work, all...
