How about using the mesh of the Power Fist for the hands, but without the impact thing maybe? Just a little idea. Well for the texture. I'd imagine it in darker steel colours... anyway you have a good eye on this!
nah i don't think having rocket launchers is a good idea. it ain't mechwarrior or smth like that. I like the shoulder parts from To:Tactics Power Armor. They are defending the helmet from both sides. http://www.fallout3.phx.pl/obrazki/render/...r%20armor03.jpg You decide. In anyway this is going to be GREAT! keep on it.
