Fettenstein, that would be the one built by TDH members form the NEG.... I'm using that as a general design base.

I plan on goign with the chinese dragon design.... maybe a ball caster under the tail and around the base of the main body.... I'm just wondering if her knee would be up to walking a 2 mile parade...

Ok, I started to think about this for a second. In Ep I and in Ep 4 SE, you see Jabba walk, well sort of. You might look at building him from that way. Just an out there idea.

Hence the "Chinese dragon" design.

Rig it up so she will be walking with Jabba on a wooden frame. Casters under the frame allow him to move... I'll talk her through the movements and everthing.... the tail will have a jointed skeleton of PVC running through it... with casters along the underside allowing it to move realisticaly.... maybe hooked with a cable running with the PVC to something in the body.... Simoilar to the cheap toy "terminator" hands... left cable pulled, tail swings left... same for the right....

So many ideas are flooding me...

This jsut might end well.
