Yeah a big well done to all the people who had the imagination and guts to mod GG and thanks for the pics also.

Still waiting for him to hit the UK but hopefully not too long now.

Re-worked my Grievous some since getting him. I weathered him a bit more, worked on the eyes to be more screen accurate like others have done and I repainted the Lightsabers a fluorescent color to stand out more and look like they are lit under the right lighting. I touched up the pics a bit for effect...

Cool battle-damaged Grievous!

I never realized just how filthy he was in the movie until I started looking hard at still images.

Thanks and yeah he does look battle damaged almost all the time which was my thinking when reworking him a bit.

I figured I would post this here too. As requested by Wor-Gar in the other Grievous thread here are some pics of Grievous with more natural light....

Looks great man! I'm a bit resistant to weathering mine as I do really like how he looks out of the box... but I'm sure with time I'll be right there with you guys. I did do the the neck mod Rory suggested and not only is it easy, but really makes a huge difference. I'll do the eyes next and then wait and see about the fins or weathering until I sit with him a bit more.

Sooner or later your little customizer voice from within will begin to speak to you and tell you to do it.

Eye Mod. The stock eyes just weren't catching the light in a way I like.
These are 8mm Dolfie Cat Eyes. These are really cheap and a good alternative to the $50 reptile eyes I originally wanted to use.
Pupil is a bit large...just looks like his pupils are a bit dilated
...which you can actually see happen when we first see him in ROTS.
Just Pull off the end. Comes off easily. I really like the depth these add.

Glue the end in the face plate. The back could be shaved down just a bit.

No special lighting. Just lamp light in the living room during the evening.


With the flash:

Cool idea Mark. Great work. Thanks for the info on these, I was looking for some smaller glass eyes for a different Grievous project I have started. I'm not sure I prefer the look of these to painted stock (don't know why) but great work nonetheless. I think it's the gold sheen that takes the toyish look off the SS stock versions? Wonder if a slight spray to the sides would improve them? I don't airbrush so don't know. Looks cool anyway. You mentioned 50$ reptilian eyes, any links? I've not found anything on ebay, are they for stuffed animals?

So I've been making a giant HT truetype with strange limb proportions... I still have to sand it down and sculpt it a bit.
Whoever can guess who this lanky fellow will be.. wins the internet.
