Looks pretty dambed good to me, but thats just my humble opinion, in fact its pushed me to have a look on Ebay for one of the GG busts.
Is it the Mini bust version shown in an earlier post ?

Again excellent work Chris

Thanks, I appreciate your opinion very much.

Yes, its the GG Mini-bust. I removed the head and hands from the bust. It was quite a chore, but worth it I think. Make sure you do your cutting, dremmelling outside and wear a mask. This thing shoots out lots of dust when being hacked up. Casting the bust is another option, but I cant do molds or casts.

I also did a custom Bossk using the GG bust. its good alternative until Sideshow gets to making these guys.

Nice Ackbar! But I have a question about GG busts for ya. When cutting is it like stone or plastic? (Never owned a GG bust except Bust-Ups.) Can a regular steak knife get through it? Cause that's what I use on many of my 1:18 figures.

Thanks. The GG busts are like statues. I had to use a dremmel saw to cut through it as they are solid resin for the most part. you could not cut these up with a steak knife, sorry.

The dust comes from the cutting up process thats why you need to wear a mask and cut it up outside or in a garage.

This has been quite the day for me. First the UPS brings me Sideshow's IG-88 , and the postman brings me a bag of goodies from Duane. Too much in one day for me...

What can I say.....

Duane, these sculpts are even better in hand. Wow. Thanks!!

I also appreciate the other goodies you sent. Im sure the "other" guy wont mind that you sent them to me.

I cant wait to get started painting these guys, hopefully this weekend! Awesome job on these my friend!
