Here is the Mech I’m working on:
for the updated version look at my last post in this thread,thanks:
I started yesterday evening so it’s a very early wip.
well,I have a question, how will you animate your hydraulics?
I dont know it because they have to go in and out if the body moves…

Here’s a fine tutorial from S68 on just this very thing…
https://blenderartists.org/viewtopic.php?t=3358&highlight=piston+tutorial
Cool! Thank you very much for the link! And thank YOU s68 for the tut !
very nice :o
it could use some chrome/ metal/ plastic textures now and a bit more detail for the head [eyes, and so on…]
it’s a great start 
@ndy
thank you! Texturing will be the last thing i do. I’m now at the hydraulics.
Yes,the eyes will come(one of the last things).
looking pretty good
yes,the head is the last thing i will model out.
Well, i played a little bit with the textures:
so say what you think.

those engines on the back look razor thin.
you should bevel the edges, a simple bit of extruding and scaling. then they’ll catch some nice highlights and look much cooler.
and, maybe as a bit of superfluous detail, put spiked engine cones inside them, like in those old experimental jets.

yeah, thank you for the tips!
thats looking great… the added textures are awesome…more wires perhaps?? hehe, u cant go wrong with wires! they always look so cool!
and how about some extra turbo boost rocket turbine engines under the wings??
u dont just want this thing to fly, u want this thing to FLY!!!
Nice job. I see you got the UV texturing figured out 
I played wiht your blend file, and I think you just had the faces selected wrong. That was it.
Keep upt he good work
