    wassup, dude! incredible work, indeed! i can't wait to see the final prod. dude, assuming the pits are made of a lego ball and socket, have you tried to see if they'll bear the weight properly?

    cheers,

    Thank you for the answer.. I've always wonder if those leave marks on the figure.. I've always been too scared to try it.. but, it seems like it works well enough.. I'll have to try it out..

    When you get the rest of the team done,
    would you be able to make a Menasor with

    This is amazing. You might actually be on the verge of building the best mensor yet (and that includes all the previous radicons and the fansproject version).

    GOOD LUCK MAN!

    thanks mates.
    found some newer parts from bigger hero factory sets, hence a simpler method.

    These are excellent instruction on how to use lego pieces for building gestalts! Should go into the HOW-to thread
