Gouf Ignited

Been a while since I've been here. Dropping off a Gouf Ignited (Gundam Seed Destiny). Got loads of "Gundam" suits but not much on regular mobile suits. Stuff needs to explode and so here's one that should. The full image is wider but I planned to use it in the website when it gets finished so I cut it down.
The mass produced versions are a Blue based, but this one is a "custom" Orange color.

This mesh is based off of a small plastic model of the same name. The layout remains very similar to the original but some parts (arms and legs especially) are restyled. The arms bear a passing resmblence to the Zaku F2 and Gouf Custom while the lower legs are widened and have an extra booster in the inner part of the leg. The skeleton is based mostly off of the Zaku F2.

Software: Lightwave 3d(Modelling,Rendering), Photoshop (UV textures, planar textures, post process).

PS: The sword was supposed to render brighter.... I'll figure that one out.
