Thanks for the comments, guys.
I agree, the head could use some work. I do like the “personless” look, but
it still could be better.
And as far as the mobility of the model, it does maintain all of the
flexibility of the Armature. Unfortunately the armor is so heavy it does
little more than stand and point it’s guns. It’s a hulk, not an acrobat.
Maybe next time.

Just for future reference, I find a small piece of paper in the ball joint
stiffens them up nicely vis
this pic (you
can see the poorly trimmed paper where the kneck joins the body). I tried
Tony Knaak’s method (whatever
happened to him - haven’t seen him here in awhile), but it doesn’t stiffen the
ball in every direction, and it’s bulky, not to mention extremely fiddly to
build, but hey it was worth trying. I also tried nail polish on the ball, but it
wasn’t very effective, and it’s permanent.
Paper is simple, effective and non-destructive. 80gsm works about best without
stressing the socket too much. It should allow you to extract a few more
balletic poses out of your model.
