Not in details, but generally things should be designed so each movable part
of something is an individual object, aligned so it is centered around the
point (or one of the points) where it should be linked to the other parts.

To get an idea of what I mean, you could have a look at my inverse
kinematics leg, where the thigh and shin are two such separate objects
centered around the hip and the knee respectively:
