This is just a, is it possible? thread for now.
Hi Guys, this has been dawning on me for the past couple of years, and I think I might get started on this. I know Puppetry isn't allowed, but this thread I'm going to be trying a few tricks and things to make it not puppetry. My inspiration for starting this, is the seeing the cybernetic Darth Maul Costumer in action (his legs are wicked cool). So I figure I can possibly do something similar to what he did. My first plan of attack is to figure out the legs, i'll most certainty need to use digitigraded stilts. I'll post concept images soon.

I think the key to the thighs is to make them wider, and thicker, and make them kinda like a cage to go around and on top of the thigh, kinda like a clam shell.
Another form of inspiration i'm using is the Star Wars Sagas 2006 General Grievous figure, it has a more thicker and human shape to it.
I wont actually be able to get to the actual building until May, so for now its just planning and figuring everything out.
