From a readers' Q and A column in TV GUIDE: "If we get involved in a nuclear war, would the electromagnetic pulses from exploding bombs damage my videotapes?"

I'm lucky if I get to spend 3 hours a week working on it. Gripes about time aside, I'm still enjoying it.
Here's a very hi res 4k square render of the progress.

And low res ...

I just thought 'yet another mech' to add to the copious amounts on other forums along with giant space marines and so on.
Anyway today I thought let me have a look as its 6 pages long so it better be worth my time LOL....and I wasnt disappointed.
Really really, Great job all round
next time just do something a bit more imaginative with the title LOL Jay

I've been very much enjoying this thread too. It's rare you get to see someone take a concept through to animation and make something really neat to watch.
I'd agree with Dave too, the glass is the only thing that looks a bit off. Maybe it's special coated glass, but it looks like it would be hard to see out of.

I think the glass is supposed to be reflecting the inside as if it were lit up?? probably could do with toning back a tad

Dave, yes the glass is odd, in that render it has no thickness, so it's just a solid block. The truth is my knowledge has gaps, a lot of this stuff I'm working out as I progress, so you're seeing it warts and all!
Again, many thanks for your time and comments.
I have a slight update, I've reconfigured the glass on the canopy, it now has a low split. This was mainly because when it opened it passed through the body of the model, I wasn't so keen so I wanted to address it, not entirely sure it's my end solution! Some minor additions in detail.
Cheers all.

PS. Jay, apologies for the lack of an inspirational title. I will attempt to address it in the future.

A physical model is something I'd very much like to investigate when I have it at a stage where I'm happy with the model.
Thanks for you critique.

He won't be wearing a onezie in the final design ... just a test.
