thanks for the comments guys

here's a slight change (i know i apologise for the amount of posts of similar pics)

made the shoes bigger and made the shorts baggier(cheers witchy)

I think the model is nearly finished (need teeth yet)- gotta texture it and then rig it - i bought Maya Character Animation so going to try and rig it using methods from there - seems to cover every possible aspect and looks complicated as hell but I will give it a blast (sure to learn summat from attempting it!!)
