I like the coloring on the arm most. It has a little aged look to it. Whereas the claw looks factory fresh?

On the far claw fingers, the last digit appears out of line with the rest.

Nice model, should be interesting to see it all put together.

Add another isoparm at the back there.

Good stuff so far though! *whispers: get into norm!*

Looks good. What is the tail-fin at the top for? Or is it just decoration? Maybe u could add a set of flashing lights and a siren horn like on cops cars and such. :laugh: Just some useful gadgets that could have a hell of an impact if u animate them.
