RX-78 ver. Fingers Making of: Hip Joints & Armor
Quite naturally, next up was the hip. Like it has been so far, the important thing was for the joints to be designed in a way that allows the model maximum freedom of movement. The RG pla-model which was the reference has a very interesting design that allows the hip to shift forward and back, which in turn allows postures that wouldn't possible without.
It was also very important that the joints are large and sturdy enough to support the entire mass. 10mm magnets were used as a result, and if you look carefully there are lots of small details that adds believability yet are there for practicality.
