So far it is 436 polies total.

I might be wrong, but the tutorial you linked looks similar to what I am doing, though it has half as many sections in the torso. I can fix that. Before I go any further should I see how many I can remove and still keep her shape, or can I leave that util finsh the model? I haven't started working on muscle definition yet, and when I do I want to keep it softer than in the tutorials I've seen so far. Maybe that'll help keep the poly count down. I'm less confident about my work on the arms than the legs. Do they look like they are joined on okay?

Thanks for your advice.
