So I finally made actual progress. I got my shoulders built and got my knee joints rigged up. Picture time!
Making the knee pieces

Here they are being put in

Marking out the pieces for the shoulders

More shoulder stuff

And here's how they were put together

Here's the skulls that will be put all along the top

Finally here's what they look like propped in place

Tomorrow I hope to get my lifts made so I can try walking in them. I also want to get the psychic hood glued in place.
