I think this will be good.... very good...
Is the green stuff there to retain the arms in place for the pose?

Looking awesome so far! I'm always impressed when people do stuff with plastic card and syrene rods - whenever I try I just end up sticking my fingers together!
Can't wait to see the next stage...
Regards,
Reaver

Yes, the blue tac is just so I could see how the arms looked without actually attaching them to the model.

Thanks for the comments guys, I started the detail work last night and will post a few more pics soon.

That looks much like the early stages of a Krooza project.  I'd say that shows great promise.

Man, that thing is kick-axe. How did you make the green stuff tube so smooth and regular? And how long does it take to do the various components? What about the disks - just saw off tube?
