After finishing R2D2 i had to then turn my attention towards the Megazord and how i was going to go about rigging it. Rather than use a Rigging script i opted to rig it manually instead. there are a large number of Bipedal rigging scripts out on the internet and although they cut down the time it takes to rig by a significant amount, i prefer to rig each joint individually to make sure there are no kinks that get buried into the rig without me knowing. The following are Screenshots of the Rig, the Mesh and the Final Fully Rigged and skinned Megazord.
The Mesh is on the Left and the Rig on the right

The Megazord having a go at the moon walk, The bulky mesh makes it harder to do the precise movements which we take for granted.
With the rigging checked off the next task for me involves creating an Animatic or a kind of moving storyboard which will make up the foundation of he final Animation.
