Starting the silver soldering process of the brass pieces: Image 1 - slot cut for small ankle. hinge to be soldered into the space Image 2 - a single freshly soldered joint on barrel hinge for knee hinge Image 3 - proof of movement, though the area will need cleaning after the second solder Cleaning, epoxy gluing and assembling the legs below. The last image depicts a slight change with the front leg design, I shortened the top section of the leg to compensate better for the size of the shoulder ball/joint. This change was relatively simple as it only required the two cuts and then a quick re-3D-print of the shoulder ball slightly shorter too. Also, unfortunately the small hinges I bought did not take the silver solder well so I had to opt for glue. A visual 'to do' list for my self (not pictured is the mock-up plastic body).
