lego legs

I've decided to go back to the lego mindstorm project that I got nowhere near completeing just before Christmas - starting with rebuilding the lego man. This is a quick version of the legs i've created. This time i've managed to get my hands on a real lego model (i'm sure there's an oxymoron in there somewhere) that i've taked orthographic shots of.
Started off modeling it from an eight sided cylinder as i was in two minds whether to sub-d it or not. Decided sub-d'ing it would be a bad idea - too faffy, but the model i've created here is too low res - looks like something off a nintendo gameboy; so i'll have to build it again but start with a higher resolution cylinder (sixteen faces should do the trick).

Once it's modeled i intend to rig the thing - should be a reasonably simple task because theres no flex in the limbs, so it's just a case of rotating from pivot points. I have played lego batman on the Nintendo DS, and they do have a bit of give midway throughout the joints, and it works for the sake of the game - so might look into that option later on.
