A mech built by following a tutorial end to end, for the modeling moves rather than the model.

Overview

Following a build to learn the moves

My end result from doing the Mech portion of the Blender Bros HSA Course. I reversed the direction of the lower legs and incorporated a ball turret model I made from a previous tutorial.
The point of working this way is that someone else's ordering exposes the steps you'd have skipped: how the panels get their bevels, where the hard edges go, how the greebles under the hull get placed without modeling every one by hand.

Outcome

Where it is now

The finished model is available to explore via the 3D viewer below. I might return to it for some material and textureing practice or to rig it up for animation.
