Robot_dog_revisited

Hey guys, remember the Robot dog tut? well, I dl it about a year ago, and I allways wanted to make a version of the dog of my own and follow the rigging tut. Well, this is my take on the robot dog, its obviously not finnished, but I wanted to show you where i was at. There are alot of different pieces, like the double jointed shoulders and stuff. Let me know what you think, I tried to stick to the original, with my own twist. Its 100% quads, not 3 or 5 sided faces, and it it redered as sub d's with mr. THanks
