    I like how you implemented the inner bot into the shell. You made it into an actual Pretender.

    Quite frankly, that is fantastic, the idea looks great, and from concept through to execution it's just great, I really like how you have the inner robot peeking through the helmet too.

    Thanks mate!
    Thanks mates!
    In these forums, i do not believe that, but I really appreciate the complement :) 

    Thanks mates!

    Yeah I was really worried about making him overly top heavy, but it seems to have worked out :)  Thanks mate!
    Thanks! I didn't add the grill on his helm as the diving suit i used is a modern version of the older ones :) 
    Look on Ebay under Animal Planet Diving suit, or Chap Mei deep sea diving suit.
    Thanks mate!
    I always wanted to attempt a pretender but was never sure enough to actually attempt it... but seeing the masters do it, I said to myself, "what do i have to loose?", So the big thanks to those before me.
    Thanks mate!

    Thanks mate, again i needed to have to bot actually be in there.
    Thanks mate. The bot is from the small Star wars transformers (scout class one)
    Thanks for the vote of confidence mate!

    Where i am at now:

    This is amazing! I love all that came together on this to get him to look the part. Getting the robot in the shell is really fine work.

    I initially ignored this, but after looking at it, I realized that I had sinned by doing so and now must go to confession.

    This is amazing work. Top-notch, as usual.
