Quote - Very nice! :)

Thanks for sharing the WIP... and I like the approach you've taken with the skeletal core.

Are you thinking along the lines of the armoured add-ons to that being conforming figures or smart-props, to the skeleton?

 

basically yes.  Everything not seen in the first picture is a smart prop.  If the end user wanted working hands they could be modeled and rigged as a conforming figure.  Same with an articulated head/neck vs just a fixed cockpit attached to the center torso
