updates, the arm ive completed is a flame thrower hooked up to the tank on its back. i think ill either make a missile launcher or a spinning razor blade for the other arm user added image

not too happy with the body shape now but if i get any other ideas ill change it i guess.

Nice start. The body shape does let it down a bit tho.

Any related to weapons being third. As for the mech. I would have to say the design appears maybe just a bit too boxy. Swing by your local game or comicbook store and look for books on battle tech, mech warrior, etc. But keep up the project and lets see where it goes.

The body could use a rethink but other than that great keep going with it....question though what part did you model first?

Animation....the greatest form of expression
