Ok.. So youve seen my first attempt. I was pretty pleased with how it turned out but it was my first ever build and was kinda learning as i was going. I experimented with various methods of stitching and materials etc.
The areas i wernt happy with with the first attempt were-
Untidy stitching on the head (the most visable seams)
Size of the collar- the points were to long and it annoyed me that he only had 10 points!
Eyes- the first version had painted 30mm domes.. These looked to small and messy. I replaced these with 40mm ping pong balls.. And these just looked to big. Im now using 35mm domes and they look perfect!
Mouthplate flexibility- it just wasnt flexible enough! Im now using a plastic called super mica.
Arms were to long
So.. Here is the progress on my new version. Im using the same body so i stripped him down and started again using what i learnt first time round.. Im excited all over again now
Check the flickr link below for the new set or pics and let me have your feedback
