Update

Started fiddling around with a pile of parts for the new Carcinus yesterday. Not a huge amount to show but gives a rough idea of the overall look. Decided that it's too different from Carcinus to carry on the name after all, so will look into something new name-wise, or might revert to Reaver again.

Anyway, arm down claw open:

Arm up claw open:

Arm up claw closed:

Just used cardboard for now to play around with different shapes and pivot/fixing points for the claw and see what works best. Bought a 50mm stroke GLA-S actuator but it's a bit short for letting me open the claw up further. I was going to get a 100mm one instead, but looking at the pictures I just need to shift the pivot down a bit and it'll be fine.

Want to get the whole weapon unit sorted before starting on the rest, just so I know how much weight will be spare. Should keep me entertained over Christmas.
