Hi All,

Build update - I resolved my slitting problem and finished the leg assembly today.  I'm pretty excited!  When I started planning this project 5 months ago, I was starting from square one - with everything!  I had no equipment, no machining experience, and very little reference for the ED armature.  Now, I hold a leg assembly that closely matches the pics I have and perfectly matches the Horizon kit.  Finishing this assembly is a great motivator to keep pressing on.  Anyway, here are the pics:

Finally, I tested an idea I had to use a 1:1 printout from the SketchUp model to place the slot for mounting the shroud to the armature.  It actually worked well.  I'll need to rebuild the toe base with sturdier sheet plastic, though.

I'm ready to build the leg rail assemblies.  I tweaked the rail design this week and mocked up the leg/foot clamps to ensure my dimensions would allow the leg to rotate:

That's this week's progress.  Thanks for tracking with me!
