Animal Hip joint suggestions?

[Landoman]

Looking at making a few animal MOCs for a zoo setup (including cats and dinosaurs). What's a good starting point for skeletal structure and hip joints. I've been looking for some techniques but haven't found any (or looked far into Flickr enough).

 

Thanks!

I would think any number of the mixel ball joints would work quite well. What sort of scale to you want to build? 

[Landoman]

Minifig ideally, but i realize that larger would get me more detail. I was figuring Elephants or Giraffes, mainly large animals.

My next question is, is poseability needed, or can these be static sculptures?

[Landoman]

Ideally some poseability, but nothing more than a few degrees front and back.
