V.I.N.CENT. scratchbuild finally done!

[Beagle Bill]

Hey everybody! I started a new thread so as to not hijack amigaman's thread. I started building a replica of V.I.N.CENT. from "The Black Hole" about a month ago. He's still in the very early stages, but I think he's coming along so far. The first photo is the actual prop from Planet Hollywood. For the head I used a couple of squirrel baffels for bird feeders, and for the main body I had a plastic dome custom blown. The hat is PVC pipe and resin cast from a grill lid. I just about went nuts trying to figure out the dimensions for all the little white panels on the upper body, and they may still need some tweaking. Building the gun boxes is going to be a nightmare, but I'm pretty much making this up as I go along. Building an Artoo unit was a piece of cake compared to this! Let me know what you think so far.

Bill

P.S. Here's a quick touchup to give you an idea of how he'll look once painted.

Special thanks to Stonky for his awesome CG pics!

Heres a picture of the VINCENT prop at Planet Hollywood in 2000 when they had him displayed facing the wall Blair Witch style.

I don't know if you need the pic, but it's a view of his back so I figured I'ld post it for you.

You VINCENT looks great. Keep posting progress.
