Yup: here comes the leg. Had initial design hesitations not knowing what to make of it. The problem I have, and it was the same problem I had back when I was doing the movie, was proper scaling and believable parts. That’s why the robots in the movie looked more Mechwarrior than Resiklo; it was easier to block out a whole limb by slapping in panelling or ‘nurnies’. I had added construction-looking braces in keeping with the theme, but for the most part the robots in the movie were more high-tech than it should.
But for my redesign the upper leg is a straight rip from a CASE backhoe arm (construction vehicle). The lower legs were derived from the same; a some supports were ‘welded in’. For now I’ve kept the feet as is, but I will most likely keep with the construction vehicle theme throughout most of the leg because the scale of these parts fit with the size of leg: they are robust enough to be believable and the keep everything within scale.
