He looks dead on like he's right off the set. A much better rendition than the traveling exhibit. Kudos to all involved.

Phenomenal work Gino.

You are getting to the stage when you are creating replicas that are better than the real props.

:thumbsup

Thanks guys.
Better than the real props, I'm pretty sure that's impossible.
Best we could do is try to get as close as possible.

Gino, I have to agree with everyone here, your Yoda is the ****.. If I didn't
know about this thread and saw that picture, I would have told you that was
a photo taken on the set of ESB.. It's really that frigin good!

Along with everyone else, your yoda looks straight off the ESB set, IMOHO. Amazing.

Of course you realize to make yoda even more accurate you need a true to life Frank Oz mannequin. :lol

I don't post on most of the SW threads but this drew me in...and my jaw dropped. Best SW related thread I have EVER seen on this board. You did an amazing job and I agree with everyone else, you transported us back to 1980 and that, my friend, is magical.

Wow thanks David.
That is super kind of you to say.
I wish I could show how it looks when you puppet the mouth to ESB dialogue.
Kind of nerdy I know, but seeing that was the thing that hit me more than anything else about it.

Been looking over this thread as I'm puting one together myself, If it turns out anywhere near as good as this then I'll be over the moon.

Brilliant work Gino! Stunning, You've captured the whole look from the film and the lighting is perfect too!

This Yoda replica is the best version that I have ever seen.

It is like it came right out of the Empire Strikes Back.
Congrats! :love

Thanks guys.

I would like to find a large piece of driftwood or fallen tree to display him on.
Similar to what is in this pic. I really wanted to take that tree with me but no dice.

Does anyone know where I can buy such a thing?
I don't want to bring home something that ends up causing some insect infestation.

Wow, you really captured all the nuances....brilliant!
whats scary is if you photoshopped grey hair, glasses and a beard on him GLs lookin more and more like him every day.
But I digress...brilliant work.

It's the taking of the video part that is the hang up.

I don't have the words to describe what I've just seen. All I can do is take my hat off to you. I think that your yoda is the next best thing to going back in time and being on set with Frank Oz. The attention to detail is amazing. I can't belive my eyes. Perfect.
