So far ive created both the legs, 1 arm, spine. But i wonder how you create so the arm can rotate(like a human arm) also can the hips/ pelvis rotate or how did you create the pelvis and shoulders? <br /><br />Anyway for the great idea and hope ill get some tips<br /><br />ClipseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7295203336421425354.post-65337480768404833992011-09-17T07:47:22.187-07:002011-09-17T07:47:22.187-07:00I would not add sand.

I have an old Halloween skeleton I am thinking of adding weight to. The joints pop out real easy is the problem and they would have to be fixed. It is also made of plastic, so not too sturdy. But the form is already there. Someone suggested sand to me for adding weight. I have to figure out how to make joints still and found your site.

I've totally gotten use to the key board and can type workably fast on it now. I am trying to get used to reading books on it (not nearly as good as a Kindle for this) but with the brightness turned way down and instant access to anything, I think it's worth it. You'll probably discover some apps that you'll use as well (example, using it as a remote control for listening to music through your stereo or controlling your Netflix, or reading recipes in the kitchen). I use it way more than my laptop now.The Doctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09613436343976294447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7295203336421425354.post-43647600299498192122010-12-07T08:15:21.891-08:002010-12-07T08:15:21.891-08:00Great post, I am almost 100% in agreement with you...Great post, I am almost 100% in agreement with youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7295203336421425354.post-62590336980200503942010-11-27T07:48:50.131-08:002010-11-27T07:48:50.131-08:00The birds are a nice touch.The birds are a nice touch.Dr Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04982534355138705242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7295203336421425354.post-56062743403441689572010-10-14T14:58:43.999-07:002010-10-14T14:58:43.999-07:00Wow,what a cool ride.
