Surprisingly it actually stands and only two of the toes on each foot is touching the ground. Unfortunately once I make the backpack/exhaust, it won't stand. The arms are made from square rods and despite parting the legs a bit further, the model still looks too chunky. The Battlesuit arms are made from square rods too, but less noticeable. Looking closely at the Riptide images, the arms are not square but more rectangle shaped instead. So it looks like I'll be re-making the arms. I'm just afraid that by sticking two thin plastic cards together will make the line too visible. All I need now is more time and it's nice to be doing a little each day and making progress. |
