Very cool! And how very cool to see your approach, this is one of the cleanest works I've seen! Your edges look perfect. Excellent choice for the toy too!

Cheers Josh, thanks for the kind words!

Have another update. Legs are almost finished. Just have a little more detail to the upper legs and they are done. Have to add detail to the gas tanks and the cab. There are a tone of rivets to add to the cab. Other detail to the cab will be done using booleans. The head and hands will be the last to model. Then hopefully I will have time to make a short vid of it transforming.

Small update.

Upper legs are finished. Still have the gas tanks and tires to detail though. I needed to check out the legs transformed at this stage to check for any anatomy errors. Every thing there looks good so far. This is really coming along great. Now if I can just get the rest of it finished by thursday.....

Guess I'm out of this one then. I was under the impression David extended the challenge deadline to the 3rd, not the 2nd.

Oh well, better luck next time I guess. Good luck to everyone, lots of Fantastic entries!
