Thank you so much for your comments, I'm really glad to hear all your kind words, and a pleasure for me...
About the weathering... well, I think that the weathering is the SOUL of a tusken raider... also, the way the fabric is placed is very very important, is not just putting some stripes there, how they fall... it took me a few hours to get the look I wanted with the fabric stripes, and after that, the funniest part of the makeup... THE WEATHERING...
I didnt use any fullers earth or whatever.. (mainly because it cant be found where I live, the Canary Islands, Spain... there is not many stuff like that here)... I used almost all I had on hand... from real weathering, with real dirt, to acrilic paints, pastels and some different techniques to apply them... Really funny stuff
Once again, thank you so much for your words, and NOW it's time to go on with the inner rober and the totokia... I'll keep you updated

Ben That is awsome!!! I hope my godzilla comes out half as nice! Hey sorry about the RL blanket. I didn't know about any rips or holes. I never even unfolded it when I got it from RipCode. Oh yeah, with any luck, in the next few weeks I'll get info on the new mace heads and give you a shout.
Later,
Matt
