Assemblage
Soo... today seems to be update day. The putty has cured and i could finish the leg to hip joint which means i could finally fit legs and torso together here's some hastily taken phone snaps;
Its not glued just free standing which is why it may be a little shake looking. I'll do an edit later with better photos.
MK1 hunchback for comparison
MW4 concept head vs the CBT

MW4 concept head - done
While I wait for some putty to cure, I finished off the MW4 concept head.
I realise now the beauty mole on the wrong spot and its too big so I'll fix that in the next clean up. I still cant decide whether to add that window frame divider on the side or leave as is. Your thoughts?
Other than that I'm pretty happy where this is at.

Postie where for out thou postie?
Play halted until postman delivers Ball bearings and glue :/
I have finished the MW4 HBK concept head it looks very swish but not quite ready to show it yet because it looks like a mottled mess of different colours and materials. It needs a final pass with green stuff filler and a sand to sharpen it all up then some primer to make it complete.
I've also start to get the bicep ready to blank cast adding the details to the shoulder and making the attaching point to the torso and a joint for the forearm. Again it needs a bit of primer and some light sanding to tidy it up. The black pen marks show where i intend to grind a groove. But i need to cast it in resin first because the master isn't strong enough to take it.
I've also made a small amount of progress on CBT/MWO forearm. but its something I tinker with while I'm waiting on other things to cure.
Update -
Well before i even finished typing this update the postman came bearing (bought) gifts yippy! I'll finally get to finish the legs masters I just need to putty the joint and drill some holes and cut 2 slots;

Hows this look
Hows this looking.
I'm waiting for the putty to set before attempting to add the side windows and smooth everything up.
Other than that I've been light sanding all the parts and order some 6mm to 10mm ball bearings I plan to make a ball socket joint at the hips

freshly set of minted leg blanks
And here we have a fresh set of minted leg blanks, free standing no glue.
These aren't a finished product. I still have to add the left and right knee pads to the calf and the boxes to the thighs. But it feels so good to see a pair of legs I thought i share. This stage is my favorite you start to feel your on a down hill run after weeks of incremental work.
Another thing I'm feeling is I want to redo the MW4 head. The concept design David White is far more attractive than what ended up in game. Its a tricky structure to build with windows on a narrow angled edges. I'll have a bash at it otherwise its the MW4 chipped block.

12days already
Wow cant believe its been 12 days since my last update. I'm focused on getting the legs 100% so i can cast them which will then let me set the joint for the hip so everything sits level. I also added some details to the CBT head and arms.
