I'm a big fan of things with 6 legs and guns. (Note Avitar.LOL)

Nice work.

Don't judge a man by his medals, but by his scars.

But I just have one question, should the legs be thicker, I mean that is allot of weight that the legs are holding up.....other then that, GREAT WORK...and wonderful texturing.

funny you should ask, as I 'm in the process of doing the actual legs. The legs in previous pics were pretty much just placers. But also the legs are hyraulic supported, so they are designed to handle a large load without having to be Greek columns to support the weight. The material is also supposed to be super strong...

To save myself the headache of constant rigging, I'm simply rigging a single leg and using multiple instances of the leg. Thus far here's some of the progress on the leg.

No prob.

It's a weird design and at a glance does defy a hell of a lot of logic. Sad thing is, the legs I'm puttin' on this guy appear thicker than those in the original design....
