Moving forward, I began to add in the Pose Space Deformers (Corrective Blend Shapes) to the Rig. This consisted of altering areas of the skinned mesh which weren't deforming how they should/how I wanted them to. One of the most notable areas being the wire that comes out of the top of the arm and how the shoulder deforms as it is rotated.  Come the end of this process I find I am now at the stage were I have a useable rig that can be used for simple animation within my sets.

Continuing on with Drone 2, I started the skinning process by skinning the antenna for the drone and then proceeding onto skin the arms for the rig. With this I found it to be quite challenging in getting the weights to fall where I wanted them; this particularly around the elbow and shoulder joints where there is a lot of clipping and deformation to the mesh.  With this in mind I'm planning to use pose space deformers to help correct some of the mesh distortions to help the flow of movements in the arm. So, hopefully come the end there shouldn't be too much stretching and pulling in places where there should be none.

Moving forward with Rigging Drone 2, I also looked to rig Drone 1 as well. This consisted of copying over elements of the Drone 2 rig over to Drone 1; these being the rig for the antenna and the new added expression I created for the world control to turn the Turbine.  So far the antenna has been skinned to the Drone 1 model and new expression has been added. Going forward I'm looking to finish rigging and skinning Drone 2 and finalize each model through texturing.
