Hi people, and thank you. I really liked building this one, so to get some awesome feedback from you guys makes me feel awesome.
I’m getting into the habit now of taking more photos as I build. I don’t have any right from the start, but I took plenty when I remembered. This project started with just the head from Hasbro’s Zuckuss. The first pic shows the modifications I made on the head. It also marks the start of my progress with the middle shot. I actually made use of forearms (top left) from the previous build.
The next shot is how I made the hands and gloves. I used wire, shreds of material and PVA glue.
Then some angles, or head shots, on the finished head.
Final pic is construction of the gas tanks. Good old fashioned kit bashing. The straps are tank tracks. Some 1/35th scale tank kits use a soft rubber, one piece, track. The gas tanks are thrusters and the tip from the Saturn V Rocket. I purchased two of these to make a studio scale Tie-Bomber. The rest is various bits and pieces.

For a brief back story, this guy is a shady weapons dealer. Has more kills from malfunctions than kill shots. And it was a malfunction, while demonstrating his own product, that blew half his head off and left him in a steaming pile of twitches and moans. When he recovered, it was revealed that he had been robbed of all his shonky weapons and his ship. The only clue left behind was the 3ft dagger lodged into his chest. The Gands are a tough breed. Still sells weapons now, but also has a new hobby…REVENGE!!!

Wow, those pics look bad. My computers skills are very lacking.
Here's a pic of the Tie-Bomber I mentioned before.

Hi all, here is my latest work completed. I imagine this guy as a bounty hunter. A former marshal on some outer rim world, turned hunter after all the corruption within the law became too much to bare. His first bounty claimed, was his boss, the sherrif.
Thank you to everyone for viewing and leaving feedback.

Hi folks, It's been awhile since I've completed any personal projects until now. I just finished on this spacer smuggler. Many thanks to everyone for having a peek at my previous work. I've been dropping in often to check out every ones stuff and it's always a pleasure to see the inspiring work from this forums talent pool. I recently started doing custom commission work, which I will display in a separate thread.
Can anyone tell me if I need to have 'Premium' status before taking on commissions through this forum?
Unfortunately I was lazy with the camera on this project and I don't have any work in progress pics. My time was so limited and spaced out I just didn't think of it. Needless to say there were many hours put into this one and several directions taken until I finally chose this look. I hope you enjoy the pics. Sorry about the quality, they look a lot sharper on my phone with the smaller screen. If you squint your eyes they look great. I'll be back soon with a new thread displaying commission jobs. Until then, keep on mod'n.

I couldn't wait. I was checking out Chakaman's thread with all his Jabba's crew customs and I wanted to share in. Great work Chakaman, love your stuff. This is my first custom commission so far.
