yep go ratchet (click) joints on any robot or mech over 7 inches tall!

Ah, that's what I was talking about! Yeah, ball joint sucks when building heavy mechs (all my mechs are heavy, so I know the bad experience...), but you can still use them in the hip. The use of ball joints for the ankle may cause you a painful headache, but it worth the try. This unit is getting better every time I see it. A tip: When you changed the knee joint the upper leg stretched a bit off the armor. It'd be nice if you cover that. Keep the good work!

It always irked me when people comment on proportions being "wrong". Since when does a humanoid machine need to be 1:1 proportioned to a human? Regardless, the NS-MAS are "hybrid-real". They need to be svelte and nimble. I'll probably be using click joints for the shoulder and elbow joints. I'm probably going to keep the pelvic and ankle joints as ball joints unless it starts getting too difficult to work with. As for the feet, they do look a little weird but they actually have utility to them. The feet can spread out into a 3-toed form that provides additional stability on uneven terrain. It's not used often, but it's there. I might take a stab at a new design that incorporates this better.

Pretty good build. You finally got the proportions you needed for the torso, I see. It looks great, but given the size, you will probably have to go to click joints. I think the feet look a little off from the rest of the design though. Just my personal tastes, I guess. Anyway, great rebuild. ^Blub^
