What kind of hilt are you looking at in sense of design ?
I take a piece of PC shape it connect it at the top and bottom of the handle, then design the shape and detail on to the card and remove any sections in between the design.
If you get my drift ?
Other wise he is taking shape, but I think his feet need to be bigger.

Yes, my approach should work, I did it on a small scale mini so should translate to larger scale with ease.
The sword is looking great so far, with the hilt added will really finish it .
Will look forward to the pics to see how it goes

Interesting. But also with a bot, a swivel joint for the sword is also nice, then it becomes a whirling blade of doom!

Dragons fear nothing, if it acts up, we breath magic fire that turns them into marshmallow peeps. We leaguers only cry rivets!

In German even!
But spinning like a propeller.

Yeah the CGI animated series showed his hide-a-way, he had statues made of his transition from a living being to almost total cyborg to be a better merc fighter.

Subject: Re:Imperial steampunk.... knight of rivets with some shapely legs...
My German is limited to such delightful phrases such as:
"Du ist ein scheiße kopf -.-" (stuck as it was one of the more popular phrases being thrown around in class)
"Das ist gut "
"Das ist nicht su gut"
"Nieten! Nieten überall!"
It's not good in more ways than one.
Too bad a small motor wouldn't be able to fit into the arm though, so the blade spins slowly and menacingly. Though it doesn't really suit a sabre.
I know that Scheiss means "golly" in German. And my grandfather often called me a dumkopf which means "swell kid"

"We"? Do you have some multiple personality thing going on, or did the Rivetto's mutiny and take over the Von Domm Castle?

Hate to break it to you, Dave, but "dumkopt" doesn't mean "swell kid". Your situation is a bit like this one:

Actually, I have no idea what "dumkopt" means, but I needed a way to introduce the comic
