Cheers Chirone,
was a lot of fun doing it, and I learnt tons. It was from the DT "Character setup in Maya" tutorial, quite an old one, I've had it for ages and am glad I finally got to use it!

Only planned on doing a simple rig, now it's got all sorts of controls for foot rolls, knee locks and a whole load more!

Have started animating him now, I've been out all day so not a lot going on yet but hopefully have him rolling soon.
