OH WOW... THAT is what you meant:
that is briliant! definately thinking outside the box and not something I would have thought to do... which is odd because that is pretty much how the 80's style joe's have their legs made...
man that probably gives it a little better posability too, one thing I don't like about my technique is you loose that rotational plane at the knee that you have from the peg/swivel joint of normal star wars construction.
that snow clone looks amazing... and dare I say it... but he looks 100% better than my concept version of a "Snow clone". I'll let you look up that travesty on your own. (ok... it wasn't horible but it wasn't my best figure. Dawn painted it and the paint job was phenomenal... I've put it on e-bay 4 times now and had no hits at all though....)
man... I'm loving this. imitation is the highest form of flattery though....
but beware, imitation is also suicide (according to ralph waldo emmerson!)... I love that you took my concepts and made them your own and adjusted them to fit your style and need...
