1) Nice job!

2) Are the front legs pivotable with respect to the body?  It looks like there are pivot points showing on the rear legs, but it's hard to tell on the front (ruler was in the way a little).  I don't know if that would be a viable solution (would change the direction of the collapsible axis of the spring a bit - which might not be a good idea), but it might be worth a shot as a trial.  1/16 might not need a lot of tilt to make him clear.
