Thanks!
Right now I'm researching stilts, because learning to walk in them will take a bit of time, as well as making them. Though I should be able to work on them in my spare hours. I found a wonderful tutorial on instructables and will be using that, though I'll mod the feet to be a little larger for better balance and the ability to stand still. I saw that the WETA studios ones have a bigger foot for that exact reason. The WETA legs look great, but when you see the video with hooves on, it looks ridiculously large. Bit disproportionate to me.
I was also thinking of a way to make the claws move while walking but that might just be a tad too much/too hard. If it's possible, I will try, but the last thing I want is to trip over my own claws because they failed to 'fold' back.
