This does seem like a neat idea, and not to rain on anybody's parade, but
just something to think about: Sideshow or another company
may come
out with this item in the future. I usually restrict commissions to items that
I'm pretty sure that won't ever see the light of day by any of the normal/big
companies (bowen, sideshow, hard hero, etc....)
The reason I mention it is that the cost of a private commission can be up
there, and it'd kinda suck to spend a lot on something like this, only to have
a production piece come out that would end up being less expensive.
Having said all that - Good luck on it! I'm sure it'll look great, and the only
thing that could make it better would be if it were in 1/4 scale.
