Mech variant - Scifi-Meshes.com

So this was my first attempt at making something to scale and acurate as possible, but i F***ed it up

and it has now become a variant of a Timberwolf BattleMech. ive got the "arms" done and the "legs" down to the knee. so i still gotta finish those and work on the body. Ill probably put it in an environment as well but im not sure. So look at my wip and tell me what you think. CC wanted.

Nice level of detail so far. It's a bit hard with just the arms and legs floating there but if the body is done that well too then it's going to be a really fine model.

Nice arms

BTW you could stretch whole section of pirmary guns ( as i think they are at end of "hands" )

Great start,, keeping that detail for the rest will make this one fine model,, hope you keep the raw block style you have for the arms n legs

ok, so now i have finished the legs. took me FOREVER to get the "ankle" to look halfway decent. but i finally figured it out. now its off to model the body. thank you guys for commenting by the way. Please keep 'em comin.

Is there a particular reference image you're basing this on?

The reason I ask is because I think the toes should look a little less stiff, more like they have the potential to move, maybe some joints they can flex on. If they look the way they are because you're following your reference, then that's that... Otherwise, I'd put joints in there.
