Another section of armor, not sure if the wrist armor is right, i might have to reshape it, although now it does mold around the thumb, and have room to bend in both directions a good deal, ideal for fighting.

the foot. i am taking a lot of time on it, because i put a lot of time into the hand too.. so might aswell.

Think im going piston heavy, but you know... it needs a lot of pricise movements...

Jumping ahead a little, i decided to have some small bars over the tubes in the foot, this would also make it more effective when kicking so it doesnt break its fragile tubes(that are going to be either wires or energy tansfer conduits).

Anyway, also got the ankle in place. Now onto the shoulder and hip.

Redid the shoulder joint, I was avoiding cup/ball joints for some reason, not sure why. But i like this cylinder cupling joint. I used the same style for the hip.

a little work on the ribs.

The joints on the shoulder and hip look a little weak to me. Luckily ill be covering them in a few layers of armor. Im thining that im going to have one regular armor coat. And another coor armor coat to accent certain details.
