I think the thigh and shins need to be a little thinner and more streamline. It would give it a more natural look. I just saw your mock up on Youtube and like it, but the legs still have a frankenstien type look. The arms look great though and I can't wait to see it come together
I am looking forward this. I am a huge HP fan myself. The sword from the hat idea is pretty cool. It might nice if you have monster book of monsters wrapped in a belt, but include a motion sensor in it so that it will vibrate when someone gets close.
No worries and don't want to get you in trouble again... Since I am planning on building that part from scratch can let you let me know how it latches in place.
The best way is contact Rich(RACprop). You just use the contact button on his website. As for which is better I like Rich because he did the work to get it right. Sid did some recasting and as such I'm not a fan. The price is around $600
