Nicely executed, Kaijuboy. The colouration and improved angle have given far more menace to the piece.

I just finished up Joe's custom and thought I'd share some pics! He wanted all the same work that was done on mine (tubes, tendons, tinting, repaint, glossing, base) with the exception of the back tubes and in a blackish-silvery variant ( I layered black, charcoal, steel, pewter, and silver). And here are the results:

Shots are all with daylight, the piece is darker in room lighting (and hard to photograph!)





I think the results are a lot sleeker an mean looking...

is it difficult to adjust the head so it sits more straight?

? Im not totally understanding the question.

Here is a pic of him on his base (which makes his body upright as opposed to the slanted original posture):





Is that what you were talking about? Or do you mean something else?

Awesome work again Kaijuboy, looks great. I think V. means removing the head from the bust and lifting the chin up.

Thanks for the compliments. As for tilting the head "up", the bust comes as one piece (while the full size has the head as a separate piece from the shoulders). So while it could be broken off and repositioned with some sanding/molding/etc., it wouldnt exactly be a "quick & easy" procedure. Also, due to the back "spine", you would only be able to move the back half down so much, unless you turned the head to the left or right. Vader, drop me a PM if you want me to do this to yours.
