Default WIP - Character: RO-bot

Hi,

Since, holidays are coming to an end, my summer job as a character-rigger is over. I will start next year again, but i was told to brush up some of my skills, so... i'm just gonna create stuff for fun and at the same time, learn and improve (hopefully)

So anyhoo, i've always had a robot in my mind but never created one. I will set up some complex stuff for him and then try animating him. (properly) I cant make many inorganic objects but... here goes!

Looks like a good start so far. I think the main problem with robot models is making sure that they are made to look as if they can move and getting all the joints right so that you have the flexibility in them for the appropriate movement.

okay, this is a little off topic, but i saw a dream last night and i saw this ... I was modelling it most of the day, but do u think it'll look good as a separate model or as the leg for this robot? i might actually put more detail into that, and complete it with textures as a bit of experience...
