Wonderful stuff! I like the way it sort of looks like it is made from a dustbin, at the same time very Fritz Lang (Metropolis). I'd totally like to see it moving. Excellent work,

Mat.

thats really amazing! mabye you should add bulk to the thies(thys...theys, i dont know how to spell it!) the amount of mass in the arms makes the model look very unbalanced with out mass added elsewhere...

Hi Bahearn

I agree with the rest of the guys, this is really nice with a great retro style to it. Maybe add some extra lights on the abdomen or chest area, maybe flashing ones?? Perhaps make the feet bigger almost like a transformer. It should look real nice if you're gonna animate it..
