Did you use those third party joints for the Jotun? Fine build hackbarth, I'm getting nostalgic for older Ebbles models now!

What third party joints?
I articulated it using magnet pairs on the waist and arms.

I love that first pic! You just need a factory background for a great diorama.

I just found yesterday the Revoltech Backgrounds that Vermin King postedI'm planning in weathering the Arbalest one (edition 80) to be more suitable with the used future look of ebbles miniatures.

Josh Buczynski has a number of jointing mechanisms for his toys. I was thinking of using the joint from his Sweet Robo on a future build. paperposeables.blogspot.com/

Hackbarth: Very nice work! The Reign Of Steel cover photo made me laugh out loud.
I'm a fan of Josh's mechanical work--I still remember the Ebbles Miniatures forum thread where he posted his articulated Jotun build and shared his joint designs there, and the dancing Jotun photo he posted to show them off was pretty funny.

It's the Revoltech background that I talked about here: I just found yesterday the Revoltech Backgrounds that Vermin King postedI'm planning in weathering the Arbalest one (edition 80) to be more suitable with the used future look of ebbles miniatures. I weathered it a little:

One more, with the Jotun and the Type 18 being serviced on the hangar:

My robot horde thus far: The Jotun, with two machine gun modules instead of the cannons, two Type 18, two Itoyo, a Sentry, some fixed point weapons, and lots of character drones, plus sorted vehicles and buildings.

I made a One Monk Terra Force Wolverine, after all it goes well with Ebbles robots: As my Robots, the articulation is done by way of magnets. So the turret can spin forever without stress and wear of the paper. Since all my robots use magnets, I can mix and match, behold this metal abomination and his hatred by all biological life forms: And I can combine any weapons I have, so lets put a twin machine gun module and a 12 units rocket launcher: Run, meat, run.

A VU-22 Percheron with my Star Trek PCs. In a hurry to build it, I forgot to put magnets inside :-(

Is that the original, or the updated newer model?

I think it's the original, from when they where paid models. Worth every cent.

hackbarth: where would you have put the magnets, and why? Sorry, I don't remember any moveable joints for that - or maybe I just missed them in the cursory examination.

I would put the magnets on the top, side panels, and on the hatches bellow, to put interchangeable armament and utility packages, like the underwing stores of the Crotale.
I put them on the Shrike, the Star Wars T-Wing and the Elite Armada Spaceships. I can mount any Ebbles robot weapon on these ships, I printed a page of weapons from the Maginot firebase to mount everywhere I put a magnet.
