That really looks great! I had considered doing something like this with a Rubies Vader I had in the closet but I was gonna put my own face in it. :) Maybe one day.

I posted an update to this project over at the RPF so I wanted to show it here. I am finally happy enough to call this finished. It was a lot of little things over these last months and the base I made this weekend for a whole $10 in about a half an hour.

I will be getting it cased in a cylider with a graphic on the back half and a wood top with some kind of lighting system....but that wont be until next year if I cant get a local company to do it for a reasonable price.

The most notable difference is the head with punched hair and eyebrows/lashes and a glass eye. I liked the paintjob I did on this so much I actually regret blowing out the right eye but I'm still enough happy with it. :)

And the head just for grins....

As long as I'm here, I'd like to just mention Vadermania and thank him for letting me do this to some spare TM stuff.... I am very grateful for the support of my crazy schemes. :)

As I said on RPF, this looks so keen, it has that "stolen off the set" look!

Well done! :thumbsup :thumbsup

It looks great Mikey. :thumbsup Just in time to scare the crap out of all the Halloween kiddies. Put that on a table outside your door and you won't need to spend money on any candy. :lol

No, but he'd have to call the cops when realizing the jealous neighbour has stolen it.
