Sci-Fi project

So I've been doing some other projects, and felt I should put up some progress pics on it. Its nothing amazing right now, since things are still being worked out, but this is where it stands now.

Ball socket joint that connects the rings to the body.

Extending blades from within the panels.

Quick view of how the lower section will open up.

The general mechanical system for the panels.

The way the arms will extend out. Think of a flexible hose.

How the ship will basically look once its fully opened up.

How the leg will sit when its extended.
