Thanks for the feedback, very much appreciated!

Pony,you have an excellent point that he could be tweaked after rigging.

I am really enjoying this challenge and while I despise not finishing something on time, my prime concern is how well I'm learning and developing as an artist. For me, being a part of these challenges has nothing to do with competition but the sharing of knowledge and development. So far, this is the best site I've found for those purposes. I'm learning more than ever did on my college course.

Sorry, went off on a bit of a tangent there
I think I'll stick with the model I have for now and concentrate on texturing and setting the whole scene up. If I have more time later I will go back and remodel, just for personal satisfaction.

Thanks again everybody!
