My lifesize IG-88 project ( IG88 1:1)

this is coming out amazing! how heavy do you think he is? or going to end up being?

The total weight is about 50 kg (110 lbs.)

The head is nearly completed. I added a second light option. You can see white lights in some reference pictures.
I glued a chain of lights into the lower part of the head. The lights are battery-operated and I can turn them on with a remote control.

The two halfes of the head are connected by two 10mm foamex discs (everything glued here with 2C-glue). The split line is on the same level as the binoculars, so it was a good chance to attach the bracket somehow. I milled a small rectangular pocket into the lower foamex disc (~5mm) and the used two screws to attach it.
The connection allows a small rotation of the binoculars.

The result looks quite good so far. I think the head will come down another 1-2cm. The throat tube has to be shorten in the same way therefore it's still unpainted.

I also started the production of the grenades, two for the front side and three for the rear side.
