Thank you, Fernando.

I have to admit, the model is kinda funny looking.

My primary purpose while building this model was to make something functional.  It
started as a series of thin cylinders for bones, roughly placed where they should be.
It's also modular -- I can change a few numbers and the body can have more or fewer
limbs and they still work with the IK macros.

I then tried to add something to make it look a little less skeletal.  Thus the
bulbous "muscles" on the upper arms and legs.  However, I don't know what more I can
do to make it look more natural, without compromising functionality, and modularity.

Thanks again for your comments.
