Here is another view of the back. Most of what I have done here can't really be seen from this view. It mostly involved getting the front and back half of the shell to fit together. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.posetteforever.com/files/posted_images/6088/grimlock_back_view.jpg" target="_blank" title="Click to open image in new window"><img src="http://www.posetteforever.com/files/posted_images/6088/grimlock_back_view.jpg" alt="Image" width="400" title="Image" /></a>

I'm almost done with this, but I ran into a few problems. My computer is too slow to handle sculpt mode at even two or three levels of multires so I can't finish the shoulder piece or the hands the way I want. Also, his gun is black so I can't see it in the reference pictures good enough to model it. But I'm pretty much finished with this and I'm working on some other projects. Hope you like this view. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.posetteforever.com/files/posted_images/6088/render_3.jpg" target="_blank" title="Click to open image in new window"><img src="http://www.posetteforever.com/files/posted_images/6088/render_3.jpg" alt="Image" width="400" title="Image" /></a>

Thanks for all the views. <br /> <br /> He looks great in this last shot. <br /> <br /> (Old slow computer - tell me about it, I am still trying to optimise ,my little laptop).

Ok... but what happens when he flushes?

I just realized I've done nothing at all on materials! I have the Blender default material on it with just the colors changed. I've been experimenting with a weathered metal material but I am not satisfied with the result. If anyone has any ideas for a weathered metal material let me know. I'm looking for a shiny, but battle-damaged look. I've made some changes and I found a better reference picture of one of the weapons and should be ready to update soon.

I would prefere a color scheme with plastic and latex, just as a toy. Anyway if you release it, there will be people that will make some custom colors for you <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Need to come up with a map concept for his face so it won't look like dork and make it more robot like. The Borg! <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/ph34r.gif" alt="" />

I might try a plastic material from the Poser library to see how it looks. @tda42, he doesn't look like Dork anymore, but I don't want to give too much away. You'll just have to wait and see. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I finished the weapons thanks to excellent reference pictures found on unicron.us. I am done with the pre-tweaking stage. Now I'll have to spend time going through Blender tutorials to get better at modelling and then maybe I'll come back and finish this off. I replaced P4 man with Mr. wrinkly forehead James. I just love the fearsome facial expression on him! Hope you like this one. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.posetteforever.com/files/posted_images/6088/grimlock_with_weapons.jpg" target="_blank" title="Click to open image in new window"><img src="http://www.posetteforever.com/files/posted_images/6088/grimlock_with_weapons.jpg" alt="Image" width="400" title="Image" /></a>
