Hello all
As this is my first post in these forums, I thought I would give you a little background information on the project.
The ' Valkyrie ' is my second attempt at learning to model in Cinema 4D ( the first being a large truck). I have been using Bryce for years, but this is my first proper 3D application. I have always found it easier to learn how an app works by doing something complicated, rather than going through the supplied exercises. The model itself took about a month to build from first sketches to finished mesh.
I first posted the work on Renderosity back in April, in a thread that can be found here:

Back in May I found CGTalk for the first time, and was amazed by the quality of the work produced here. After reading through all of Leigh's wonderfull texturing tutorials, I decided to re-texture the Valkyrie with a custom paint job, and give the model a few tweaks and amends.
It has now reached the stage where I feel brave enough to post it here.
The Valkyrie:
