Hi Coco. Wondering if you have any of the Leia Stands that you make with the hidden grabber? So much better than the black waist grabber that comes with the figure. Cheers.:)
Cheers Adam and Chakaman. :) Means a lot to have such nice comments on the Buckets. First time I ever tried doing anything like this before. I amazed myself how good they turned out to be honest. I was putting it off for months attempting to do these for fear of making a right hash job of...
Thank you WTC. The heads were not 3d printed. They were cast in resin from a mold that Solo Bones crafted and spent many weeks perfecting. But yes the heads do come in rough format with seam lines and air bubbles in them. I first used needle files to erase the seam lines and then sanded with...

Thanks for kind words guys regarding my work. It will great to see everyone else's and see where things can be improved. Totally agree these helmets take the figure to the top of man in suit realism. :)
You might be right Waste Time. I have posted these up on my laptop. First time I have used a different Photo uploader since Photobucket went to subcribe. Do apologise you not being able to see them all.
