Woo, got loads more done now. Big hurdle was trying to figure out how to build the body structure, and how to fit the weapon mounts in. Managed to get over both those hurdles, and the body work is almost done.
I think the pieces that are there at the moment are likely to serve as an underskin, and I'll go over the top with extra panels for that "jus rivited" look. Once the panels are finished off under the shoulder mounts, all that's left is to give it a neck then the main structure is done.
That will just leave the head, weapon arms, and the back details.
Quite happy with how the interior looks, even though I've got no intention of leaving it exposed or detailing it. Perhaps if I do another one I'll spend a lot longer making the interior full of grots. But at the moment it almost looks like a big jerry-rigged structure that you could crawl around in to fix things. Heh.
Planned out two of the weapons, but I'm going to do 4 I think and make them interchangeable. Not for any game type reason, but simply because I've got too many ideas to fit into two weapons alone.
Good news is it can still support its own weight just on the wire, without even glueing it to the base. Should mean it will be very stable when it's finished off.
