Search waaaay back in the Bricks section Natty built one years ago, pretty sure she posted some pictures of the joints while in the WIP process.
Been here longer then pretty much all of you or some shit.

Negative. I already was looking for these, but most giant mech constructions I saw make heavy use of these turntables.

I can confirm this. Having tried pretty much any other sort of brick-based articulation out there (since I haven't ordered any of ^these^ yet) the turntables are your best option. The brick ones that provide the friction necessary for the support of larger limbs and maintain balance usually require some chopping or using rods in bricks that aren't designed to take them, it's pretty ghetto, but sometimes it works (I used them for the Nimrod's weapon-arms). But still, turntables is the way to go when going big.

I'll have to put in a few bricklink orders then when I am finally reunited with my lego.
