It's all true! It's working on that that gave me the idea for how this robot was going to look and I've modified some of the leg parts I made for that model too. I'm pleased with the boots at present, they took ages but have come out pretty well considering. I saw some great ones (bit higher in the leg and rather better than mine) in a nurbs tutorial, but as I am struggling to learn nurbs I couldn't follow it and thought I would try and recreate the looks in polys and subds instead. The rest of the body is just getting started really. For some reason I seem to be building everything from the feet up! Thanks for the comments.
