Wow, I just figured out how much 500 euros is!! For that price I hope it's at least made of metal. It would definitely be cool to have one tho. Wonder if you could add servos and whatnot and have it mow the lawn or something.
Your model is looking good
Thx!
If it could mow the lawn, do the dishes, etc. I would pay way more then those 500

Maybe you should model this so you can have each section 3D printed sh00ks, its looking good from what i see
I was thinking about that too, but don't know anything about it's possibilities and prices/quality.
Also don't know how I have to model exactly to get a good result/product.But it sure is an intersting follow up of a good sketch

Do a good job on this and you can have your own one printed - although probably more than £500!!

Progress
After making the head in full detail, to confince myself I can do this, I started to make the whole model in rough shapes that represent the outlining of the model.
This way I could get a good grip on the sizes and shapes of all the parts, cause that is some tough cooky when you have limited pictures of limited angles...
Also discoverd loads of movable parts and joints and realised that the shapes of adjoining parts is critical to prevent overlapping parts when moving the parts.
Since the goal is to make it a full detailed model, the parts have to be able to move like their supposed to.So it took me a sweet amount of hours to get it right, but I think I got it.
torso
Back
Radar arm
Railgun arm
[b]Leg[/b}
All together, it turns out like this
Shot with pivotpoints/sliders
I would appreciate your input, mainly on the proportians of the parts and it relationships
Next up is fine detailing all the parts.

This is great, it was only last wk I found myself with the rerelease box set for metal gear solid in hand, taught of this post as the mech is proberly the best ever created for gaming, only shame is you never get to take control, I see from the bottom image you have it rigged, even better, would like to see an animation of the finished product with key frame animation of even SP where controllers are added so finally we get control of this beast, well done, keep it up
-
I hope I can make it 'dynamic', cause I know nothing about these techniques and how to do it.
When that time arrives, I'll have to dive into itBtw: You CAN control Metal Gear Rex in MGS4: Guns of the Patriot, Act 3
Realy cool to see how it all moves and work! -

-
True al along
MGS4 has been released as an PS3 exclusive
Here some vid from the gameplay with MG Rex
-
Just finished all the details in 'hard' lines.
Here's the result
Leg
Torso
Head
Back
Radar arm
Railgun arm
Total
I personaly am very satisfied with the outcome so far, not in the last place for all the time it took
Had some nights looking at the clock, reading 23:00, thought to draw a line or two more...next time looking at the clock....4:30 
Time flies when you're having fun, ejTook a quick rendershot with Thea, and was amazed of the renderquality at this point!
Still spotting a lot of parts that could be improved/perfected though

Next up:
Smoothing out all the 'hard' lines/edges amd prep it for some quality rendershots.
After that a new technique for me to learn: texturing
Please C&C me
-
Looks great already but keep coming with the details and has potential to be amazing!
-
This is fantastic, came out a lot better than I imagined it would, like Liam said keep us updated, well done
-
Love the complexity and amount of detail in this thing. Now if it just had racing stripes and high-speed hubcaps!
-
Thx alot you guys!!
@ Liam: there isn't a lot more detail to give as in parts, cause it's an exact copy of the modeling I'm working from. There are some parts which I tend to enhance in detail though.
As for the detail in soft lines/smooth faces, there is still a lot to be done@ Hellnbak: it doesn't stand in a garage, therefore it ain't a car

This is coming along fantastic, cannot wait for the final image, all the dirtmaps and all.
-
Thx solo!
(Good) texturing is something I still have to learn, so I hope to I can produce some quality dirtmaps and other textures
@ Pilou/Dacad: Amazing piece of machinery!! Just brilliant! Also loving the render, great setting!
I'm also thinking about a good environment for Rex, but haven't come up with anything yet... Maybe you guys have any ideas?

The hanger from MGS1? Or maybe an exterior of shadow moses? I like the idea below if you can realise that? I would be happy to help create the scene in a month if you can wait that long! Always wanted to to Rex in an illustration.

Thats an idea, id like to see a battle render, that would be sweet

Rex is a stealth unit built to launch 'stealth' nukes via a railgun so would never be in direct combat unless it was self defence.
Sorry had to be a geek and chip in
'Ray' the 2nd gen has more of an assault capability, not only was it a naval unit so can travel underwater but also had a huge magazine of general purpose missiles not just nuclear. That gives it the capability to strike against ships and land targets etc.

How about in a place you'd least expect such a monster like a tulip field or peaceful meadow.
