I trialed the position of the servos with clamps, then used some right angle brackets from active-robots and some very useful plastic rivets to mount the servos onto the hips and shoulders.
He's not quite back together yet, but Bernie now has legs which is a big change and his balance has improved a lot already. The same pulley mechanism I designed on cardboard is done here with some brass hooks on the back of the legs.
I can't test this just yet though, because as you can see in the picture on the right all of the electronics are not currently inside Bernie. Since access is going to be tricky once the wing plate is attached I want to get as much tidied up as I can before his stomach gets any harder to access than it needs to be (the spare rib will still give me access when I need it, but it's going to be a bit of a squeeze to do anything in there).
