This is getting better and better...


This week has has been very much trial and error.
Fortunately pretty much everything has worked out really well.

 The first this i went in and did this week was focus on the head so i could get a clearer idea of the scale and hight.
I added a piece of rubber cloak scrap to the back of the head because i had a huge gap between the neck and skull held together with a double ball joint. The rubber also has a indent in it that looks like the dip in the back of the skull.



I also pulled out the base of the neck joint and moved it forward.
it just seemed to far back for me. It didn't have the alien feel...


In the book Plagueis has a breathing apparatus like Vaders, attached to his torso with tubes running to his face.
So i decided to imbed wire in his face and a magnet in his chest, so i can make a removable accessory later.


 
I also added detail on the back of the hand's to hide the wire. Tried to make a it look kinda like the back of the hand of the 3" figure. I know these hand's look a bit goofy up close. but in my self defense the hands that i scraped from a fantomex from the marvel 6" line. The right hand already was really deformed. Ill probably endup scrapping it later on.


  That will be it for awhile. Thank's for checking in.

Hey guys just a quick, simple update.
The weekend before last i decided to start the shin guards. then i realized that the length of the legs wasent right,
 so i made the lower leg longer and made the up leg shorter. looks more alien now!
Had to wait a week for the styrene that i needed, and started the shin guards.

I screwed up my knee working the new job. So my mood and my pain threshold have to be just right to get anything done.
Thanks for the support guys!!!!

Hey guys, just gonna drop some flavor down for the tasting.
So this is close to being complete.
 There are some buckles and straps on the back that i didn't get a shot of,
and i still need to sculpt in the back of the leg, the jumps suit.
I wanted to flare out the bottom of the shinguard originally... I may go at it a different angle later on,
is was causeing me to much grief.
