    Not posting here since forever (about Star Wars of course), but basically because I did not have anything to post really. Since C6
    is coming, I have something to share.



    It was love at first sight. When I saw this sculpture, I told my wife: why not? Not completely finished, but I would say 85%. Can't bring the rifle and gaderffis to Orlando in my luggage, so will be finishing those props back to Argentina. This is basically a making-of mega post. Most of you, Ben's fans should know about this new collectible so won't post photos of that, but my progress, making-of and final results:







    Complete album:

    Created and modified a lot of things, which I will list down there. Click on each link to see the making-of. As I always say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

    As I could have forgotten a link, or misplaced it, here you have the complete picasa web album link just in case:

    All items and accesories were created by me, so If you have any question, don't hesitate in contact me. See some of you on Orlando. Have to prep my backpack and start to walk from Argentina. Long trip. May the Force be with you!

    Looks great nice work! The only thing I think you need to add if you don't mind me saying is weathering: lots of dust and dirt and abrasions

    nice work dude!

    Pretty cool! Did you get the idea from the Sideshow statue?

    You costume is awesome! Wish I had seen it in person at CVI. I was there, but never ran into you.

    I was inspired by the statue as well, and have since started my own version of this costume. I came across your post while researching reference material. I have to say you did a great job. I'd love to share ideas with you as my costume progresses.

    If I may ask, what did you use for the underlying backpack? I've been having trouble deciding how to approach that. Any insight you might provide would be great.

    I'll be sure to share my progress images as soon as the forum alows me to start my own posting thread.

    Thanks,
    Jerry
