I sense difficult times ahead rendering if your meshes are that tight. :) I like the joint, but the feet are really heavy in the poly count. Did you use the Spline modeler? If not, I suggest that. It's much better when it comes to poly-counts. Even if you have a really nice machine, if more of your mech looks like that, it'll bog down a lot. But it's a great model so far. Hoborg
