Great start so far - have you any plans on the transformingy bit yet or what the mech will eventually look like?

Well he'll look close to my Anti-tank droid model. Somewhat but not exactly. Still have to finish modeling the inside of his legs that are folded in the blimp.

and some more progress.

Wow! Lots of great work here mate. Well done! I really like some of the detail that you have going on in your model so far. Good luck!

Thanks Arran! Here's some more progress on the inside. Legs are almost done (Might Redo them cause they look bland) but some parts need a bit more detail before i continue onto the arms.
Model sits are roughly 29,000 polys.

Thanks for the comments guys!
@Bullet - I've been meaning to either give him turrets or rockets and now that you said turrets then that's what he is going to get

Unfortunately i have to go to work so i'm not sure about update....plus i have to get the house ready for my 18th birthday party...

Got around to finishing off all the modeling!! :attn:
No i have to go in and arrange everything so it transforms and operates with absolutely no problems.

Here is a closer look at the turrets that i gave him. (One thing you might notice is that i forgot to place a few cuts in the middle of each cannon.)
