Okay finaly got my concept done for the light scout style class. I wanted to go for a lankey robot design so I worked from some of my unused designs til I was happy with the rough form (one on the left) then began to work it to a final design that I was happy with (the one on the right) feels good a post up, hopefully more before the end of the week.

Love the concept, looks kinda Short Circuit-y on crack. The limbs are just a touch skinny for my taste, especially with the big stompy feet. I'd either tone down the feet or thicken the legs, just a little.

will thicken those legs up a bit and drop those feet down a bit (now that you mentioned it it is a bit extreme)
Thanks Bunny.

yeah... i dont think that thing could walk to be honest....

Nice modelling job. [:)]

I think the legs are cool and actually realistic as they are (they don?t need muscle after all ? and thin steel is very strong!), but the feet just need some scaling down. I quite like the concept of a robot/droid with skinny legs and largish feet to weigh it down and stop it from toppling over ? just not feet quite that large. Of course considering the size of that weapon, it does need some sort of counter balance.

Oh ? and I love the camera head ? ?big brother? is watching!

a really bizzare but cool looking idea, thatd be awesome to see animated
