Hi,
I started modeling the B1 Battle droid from star wars. And I have now reached the part where I have to make sure that the angles of the limbs are correct so that it fits when I fold it like its folded when deactivated. I was fine til last night when I discovered that the neck rod is folded in one way in the first two stages in the attached image, and then in a different way in the last stage. It's like if the bottom of the neck rod, where it's pivoted, is risen and placed almost on top of the backpack. Can you see it to? And can you help me find out how it works so that I can model it correctly?

Here's some other angles where I can't see that how the neck would be able to do what it does in the first 2 stages of the above image:

quote: "However, the neck telescopes in like the original OOM-9 figure rather than the fold-down of the movie. I asked Dave why, he said when they went to examine how that all worked, that ILM had cheated, there's a panel below the neck proper which folds in, but in order to fold in enough for transformation, ILMers had that panel essentially disappear through the back, there's no physical way to accomplish what they did."
If true, and it could very well be, I think it stinks since they cheated to make it fold that way.
