Hi guys and girls, I wanted to show off my creation. Hope you like... Hope this attachment works!

Hmm- let's try to rotate that a bit

Fingers crossed

Oh boy- I might need help here.
Let's try a different image

If i turn my head sideways i can see that it is actually really good! Very nice job.

Thanks! I took the picks with an iPad and I don't get why they are sideways
I have more but I don't want to cause neck strain to everybody

Hope this one works

A shot of the Cygnar crest.

... and it's sideways again !?! ...

Looks good, but I wouldn't have used exclusively green stuff. GS is not too good for making sharp lines (you're far better off using milliput or a GS/milliput mix), which you would need for something mechanical; as right now it looks far too "doughy" to be a machine, almost as if it a plushie version of a Warjack. Also some brass rod and/or plasticard tubes would be better for the pistons IMO.

The posing seems a little off to me too, aside from the sizing issue (unless you were planning on making a Thunderhead or something), it looks like it's doing some kind of jig (Even PP's own models are not immune to this, looking at you Behemoth!).

There are a few bits to like on this, the Cygnus is very nice, but the rest of this looks like it has so much potential to be great, but falls short due to the material used.

Thank you for the compliments and critique. I'm hopeful that the paint job I give it will better define it's features, but yes, it's a bit on the 'soft' looking side for a machine at this stage of the process. As for the pose, in profile you will be able to note the 'jack is in a full tilt run- counter balancing it was quite the chore. Regarding the pistons, the armature I used to build upon is a twisted lattice of wire coat hangar and paper clip - the shoulders are marbles and the torso is a Lego block.

Here's a tighter pic of his 'guts', and a size comparison to a Centurian.

Oops, sorry... Just saw that this is in the wrong spot. Would one of the mods move this thread to the proper place please? Thank you.

Finally finished!

I can't seem to attach more than one image, if I try to add more than one they all look the same.

So I'll just post three in a row then.

Wow, those look great. Awesome job!
