Thumbs up Lord Rancid - Dominance War II

After a couple of very trying and tiring weeks (involving the loss of a weeks work on this guy and a load of other personal work when my home PC blue-screened and died, cause still unknown) I have clawed my way back to the where I was a week ago, i.e. the high res mesh almost being complete. I'm fairly sure I won't be able to complete this guy for the dealine now (I haven't even done a concept for his weapon yet) but I will continue on until I can continue no more....
Anyway, I'm pretty happy with the high mesh and once I have added a few more details (including all his major pipes, his hands and face around his eyes) I'll quickly knock up a low model and try and at least get the boy normal mapped....
Here's a couple of screen grabs from Silo to show his current state.....

Extremely nice. Love the gears and bolt's feel and those enormous exhaust pipes, you really feel that there is a lot of power in that robot. Head also looks sweet.

Last image for now, a pic of the torso on it's own (you can see where the limbs slot into a self contained ball n' socket type joint)....

I wish.....
Thanks for all the helpful comments and kind words so far....
The next stage for my concept will be a clean up , both of the design itself (gonna simplify some of the details, cos it's just too damn busy for my taste) and the artwork (gotta clean up the messy construction lines and get some colour ideas on there) ....

Added some armour pieces (that fit onto attachment points on the arms and legs) and a first pass design of his sword (the idea here is that he can grip the handle set in the blade for thrusting or parrying moves. The blade-handle can even rotate!!!).....

Great style and detail. I'm thinking your biggest struggle is going to be fitting all that detail in with the poly limit. No doubt lots of normal/bump/transparency mapping will be required.

I'll definitely be watching your progress.
