For the sophisticated gentleman who has everything, but still needs these:

He is coming along!  I’m a bit nervous about just slapping it together, so I have been really patient (yes, me patient) and it’s coming out awesome.  Just nervous I’ll mess him up, so I work with him, before gluing.  The worst part so far has been the lambskin mouth, getting the folds just right.  Seriously I spent about 10 hours folding and refolding, before I actually glued it and in 5 minutes.  The cowhide mouthpiece is where I am working now.   Epoxy is definitely not forgiving. 

Yeah, when it rains, it pours.  I am also starting a Tusken Raider.  You know those cool guys that try to beat up Luke or shoot at Anakin?   Well.  This kit rocks!!!  I’m only about 25% done, and that may be stretching it.  It’s machined aluminum for the silver pieces, and a quality latex mask.  It will be fun when it’s all done.

So, it’s Star Wars props time again.   I’m not 100% done with the Trooper but I’ve started on two new projects.  Gonk is actually a Star Wars Power Droid.  The little walking battery that is on the Jawa’s vehicle?  Well anyway, I’ve tackled him and he’s started out pretty cool.  Pictures are up, more when I finish him.
