This is looking really good, are you going to add a human character within it?

Alot of details in this model I like it, enjoying the progress too.

I have recently upgraded from LightWave 7.5d to LightWave 8.2.1. (Woohoo finally)

And now that I am getting used to the changes, I can proceed full steam ahead with my APU.

Here is an update, thank you for taking the time to look.

Cheers

bullet_evader : Thanks

Here is a small update, which is just an initial texture test. I have also thickened the toes, legs, shoulders and added a little more detail.

Thanks for your support and interest.

Cheers

The detail in the feet is excellent, I love it!

Holy crap!

Thats a serious piece of modeling you've got there

I would have liked to have seen some of the earlier stages of construction

Really nice!
