Looks great!

 

Did you have to reinforce his arm any to keep it from drooping?

Actually, no. I had to reinforce the right leg though; for some strange reason is was starting to droop.

I also reinforced the spine; all the GS and bones bits on the torso made it kinda top heavy. This may have been what was affecting the leg, come to think of it.

It's a modified version of Siri's excellent tutorial here:

I used different colors, and went over the edges of the blade with silver to show that's it's a little cleaner from lots of use!

It's full of rusty goodness! Are you going to give him some WD-40 to celebrate?
