Thanks for the wireframe on surface. It is mindboggling how you can keep a model straight once you start getting that much detail.

Fantastic work!

D@mn Man you are just about done and you have like 2 months left on the comp. Looking good bro- Why does the mech in the rear looking less smooth then the rest of him? Did you reduce the tesselation to shorten the render times? Very, very cool Kurt!

That looks class user added image

. Are you going to give him one of those long frog tongues? You could make it mechanical or have mechanical enhancements. Could look pretty cool.
