DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
The mech is made mostly out of simple shapes, boxes, cylinders, spheres, and
hemispheres.  The arms are the only really complex objects.  The elbow joints
are made of four spheres attached to one another, and then bent to form the
joint.  The guns are made of boxes and cyliders (both smooth edged, and flat) 
The barrel was hollowed out by creating a cylinder, and subtracting it from the
barrel using 3DS' Boolean object command, and a similar method was used to make
the notches on the sides of the guns, and on the clip.  All textures were made
by first rendering an individual object, on a black background, from one of the
main views (top, right, or front) and then editing the image in photoshop, and
applying the image to each object individually.
