whoa, you're actually gonna map out how a massive humanoid machine would work?
good luck man, I don't think I have the mecahnical knowledge to figure out how it'd all work.

Not how it all would work, but how it would look on its lonesome. Like, showcasing the structure of the foot that would otherwise be obscured by some armor plating.

Although I am making a large wooden mecha operated through hand-cranks and chains, which is really fun. Anyone have ideas on how to force the torso to lean forward and backwards during movement? Everything else I have figured out, but he will fall over whilst walking until I fix this.

if you get chains running through the back  of the torso to tighten, you could pull the backplates closer and cause it to lean backwards. It would work the same for the front.

I added some more info on Faradaia, and a little bit about Tenalia, including the rulers' names.

First time I've used an accent symbol in years!

EDIT: Also, Granardand.

And now I feel ridiculous because I thought my printer was also a scanner but it isn't.
