Hey, just saving a spot here so i can see this completed. I want to see the second best megaman character built (sorry i think Bass is better then Zero, but thats just me). I have a bunch of zero pictures in somewhat different positions that might help you out with the back and other places that dont always show up but they aren't like hi quality pics and megaman characters are pretty low detailed anyways. They really dont have to many scratches on them since if you still see them around they were rebuilt or repaired with non-scratched parts. BTW, you probably have the pictures i have.

Man, no updates in like forever. I have him sort of all there just need to really work on the face and get everything to look as good as it can. I quickly made the sword he is going to be using today. It was super simple and didn't take more than a couple of hours. It has sort of a good level of detail.. later I will show close ups on some of the parts because a far shot doesn't really show you that.

This is all the swords from I believe Megaman X4.. or 5 Im not too sure. The black one in the middle is the one I modelled and going to have him use. I just noticed one small error I'm going to go fix now >.>

Looks pretty good, can't wait to see zero himself. If you're thinking about making another sword too, i'd go with the flaming one. Hope to see more soon.

Looks like a great start. I wonder how you will make the face, I always had trouble with anime-ish heads.

This should be a good one, excellent job on the sword so far!!!

Yes, I finding out thats the hardest part. I was dreading the time at which I had to get the face finally done with.. Realistic faces are sort of hard anywas but anime faces totally make no sense to me. I hope I can pull it off. Zero I think makes it a little even harder as his face is quite different in each of the pictures and I dont have any good face on or really great profile views of him. Its funny how its like 100 times easier to model a nice looking body or piece of metal compared to a face. There is always something about when I do it that I dont like and spend way too much time on even just 1 little vertex that pisses me off. I found some Xenogears saga 2 cinematics heads and they look amazing for 2 of the characters anywas.. that gives me hope that it acutally can be done ;p
