Rigging Session 2

In the middle of rigging the left arm, just finished the right one. One of my favorite parts of this design and one of the reasons I wanted to rig and animate it are the claws. They just make me fall in love with this mobile suit. While I already loved the Barbatos in its other forms, the Lupus Rex is just so visceral and the final episodes of the anime exemplify this, it's damaged state is definitely something I would like to attempt to replicate at some point in the future.

For the arms compared to the model kit that my model is based on I increased the articulation and usefulness of the sub-arms. I made modifications that allow them to reach further and made it so they can reach all the way the to hand rather than basically sitting under the wrist which I found to be disappointing on the built kit and felt it was basically useless other than a simple gimmick. Now they should be able to hand the Barbatos another weapon or even support the weight of one such as the massive Mace the Lupus Rex is known for (and that the model kit basically can't even hold).
