Ok, I now have rebuilt the Rt arm to match the Lf. Also taped off the left leg, now about to start plastic dipping. Do not mind the mess, I don't.

OK, here is a cleaner view of the arm, just for you George- with a bit more detailing done. Most of today was spent rebuilding the right arms forearm, before it keep in scrapping against the bicep when I closed the elbow. I hope to remount the arms tomorrow.

Looks awesome
I love how the finger joints are turning out, how heavy are your arms turning out?
The your method for the elbow is really nice, it doesn't compress to tightly on your arm when you straighten it out does it?
And are those rotating wrists? <Jealous>

George, I definitely did not take offense. My shop was a mess. Just had three people work on it for 5 hours, and now it's ..not bad. OK, so here is a view of the range of motion on an elbow. Looks like it covers about 140* of motion. The forearm caves in to allow a greater range of motion. Shadeling , it was originally a rotating wrist on one arm, and a pivoting wrist on the other. I have the pivot motion down, but the rotation is currently not good. Also, best guess on an arm is 11 pounds- I have a method for solving arm motion and movement, an already proven concept. Though this skeleton offers some huge improvements. Joewookie, yes those are" Durastilt 4 ", my favorite model. about $300 a pair, and well worth it. Brutuswayne, thank you, ya, I get that all the time. " Love your robot, but you gotta see this OTHER guy"..it's me. There are just not enough of us Giant Robot Guys, but things are looking up. I can now expect to see a couple of "Big" friends at almost every con. Thanks for all the positive feedback guys. Here is also a close up of some hand detailing.

Now some progress on the head, stared with a plastic salad bowl and just started adding till I got the right curve.

Hi again guys, Some of this progress is not as visible as I would like yet. Today we plastised the arms, meaning we coated it in a resin that turns it to plastic. This will have the effect of making all that wonderful detail work far more durable. The shoulder bells were completed and are about to be mounted and the head got a few more hours. I can't wait to pull this all together.

Here is a nice progress shot of the head, with a comparison from a statue, not done, but looking so much better. Quin Mae did most of the detail work.

Here is the completed head, minus eye, lighting and of course paint. I am seriously thinking of adding lasers to the eyes, cus "Giant Robot with Freaking Laser Eyes"

Hi guys, here is the legs getting ready for a test fitting tomorrow. Mounted the arms and now also have knees added in for the legs. Chest opens up like a garage door, detail hinged fold away into shoulders. I am really excited to see this all on together .

Yes, they are all hand made. Here is my first test fitting. I feel it was a complete success. I was able to get in and out without to much fuss. It appeared to be lighter than my last build. The new shoulder arrangement worked perfectly. I have not put the elbows under full load to release strain, so they did not work well here, but I have already tested them. I was able to do a 180* torso twist, a full arm extension or to drop the arms completely by my side. My apprentice was able to play handler and hand up the torso to me, she is only 110 ponds so that's a good sign.
