Full-Size General Grievous Prop Build

Thanks Sith Lord! I started working on these projects in January after TFA debuted, and have few more to work on. So there will be more to come.
 
Very nice work and I like your attention to detail. I'm not a fan of the character, but you are creating something that is inspiring. Well done.
 
[h=3]Step 14:[/h]The final and most important aspect of completing the head is to create a layer of super gloss over the eyes. To achieve this, simply brush on 4-5 layers of Future Floor Wax. Don’t scrub it on or you risk creating bubbles. Simply dip the brush and allow the drop to permeate the entire eye surface.

Step 15:

The General also sports certain mouth parts - which resemble some kind of alien microphone. Flat stirring sticks, heavy gauge wire and paint are all that’s needed to create this.

[h=3]Step 16:[/h]The body armor wouldn’t be complete without some additional airbrushing work as well.

[h=3]Step 17:[/h]To make the capes, plastic tablecloths are an inexpensive choice. In order to cover the body, 2 large (108 in) tablecloths get stapled together (long edge) and then draped over.

Step 18:

Start with red on the inside, this cape goes in front of the tripod pole to hide it, then gray goes behind to cover it from the back.

Only one final thing and he's ready for our "Dark Side of the Force" Halloween! Closer to October, he'll be spinning lightsabers in his top hands and hooked up to a motion sensor. Also using some laser effects this year to help with some of the prop effects!

We're getting there! Once I start to get the rest of the props knocked out for Halloween, I'll finish his motors and get him spinning!!
