Big improvement, esp. pressing the jacket. Is that a TT narrow? I have a couple blanks and was going to use one.

It's a TTL 1.0.

Come on people post some painted pics...........

Will do later this week, mine should be arriving on Monday

Begone demon! The power of Ski's email tutorials compels you!

Seriously, it's been several years since I painted and those were mostly Hasbro repaints, so I wasn't too wooried about screwing them up. I know I can always strip it down and start over, but something about a pristine sculpt just intimidates me.

Looking sharp, Billy!

I should mention I've left the necks on these slightly longer in case everyone's not using a True Type (which is understandable). You can shorten it should you need to with just simple a nail file.

Replied.

Ooo...what's up with that Yoda over there to the right? Is that a repaint of the SS sculpt?

Do you think it looks a little long? At first I thought it might look a tad bit, but I asked my wife and she said it thought it looked fine. Looking at it now, across the room, it looks great. I was gonna roll with it as is, but now I don't know. I'll snap a few more pics in a minute...

Ok, pics:

Think it looks pretty much perfect:

From the sides/back it looks solid. I think its the gap where it hits the neck plug that might throw it of from the front. But if you're happy I'm happy.

Indeed. I've got that one and the Medi version I'm doing for some reason.

Yeah, I think once it's painted it will look ok from the front as well.

That Yoda looks nice!

Nothing a bit of milliput and sanding can't fix.
