Glad to see/hear from you again Colin and with quite an update no less.

Indeed, it would seem that the layering process is quite time tasking but it certainly pays dividends man as the detailing continues to look amazing.
The effort you've put into the neck especially looks cool, as it has the look of actually serving purpose being that not only does it look like a support for a robots head, but it also looks like a conduit of resources along with the copper/brass tubing being rather akin to a form of Heat-Sink for dispersing High Temperatures.

As a bust; this looks stunning. but the fact this will also encompass a full body is incredible!

Keep up the excellent work mate, I look forward to your next update!
