At first when I read budget, I thought "oh no!".
Now all I'm thinking is "oh hell yes!".
Looking fantastic and such fun to watch.
Keep it up my friend.

Thanks Robert...but honestly this build has exceeded the budget i thought i was going for.....but still .. its more affordable than buying from seasoned Chewie Makers though. , if ever i make a new one...its definitely going to be more budget friendly, since i now know the mistakes to avoid. haha

Wow, I can't imagine how long all that latch-hooking took! Good luck with legion approval!

haha,,yep..it took a while but required tons of patience more than anything...so its quite unnerving now that i am in the trimming/thinning stage...that after putting in all the effort to attach hair...i am now taking off quite a lot...
