Just thought I'd share what I have been playing at lately, a good friend of mine is a battletech fan and asked me about modelling mechs. It seemed like an interesting challenge so I decided to take a poke at it.  Now 'Mechs (think walking tank) are pretty varied and have a specific look each so what I decided to do was model and rig a skeleton that I could craft different looking armor props for to make whatever specific variant I decided to attempt.  This is what I got so far.. I'm fairly happy with how it poses and adding the superstructure one piece of armor at a time has worked out resonably well.  As you can see only the legs and hips are complete with generic armor of my own design.
