Happy Twenty Evil-en
I for one will be glad to be out of the aughts, and lets just skip through the twenty tweens (seriously?) and get to the twenties.
But I hope your year is off to as good a start as mine. Sometimes being snowed in or kept indoors from the bitter cold is good motivation to sit under some hot lamps and do some work.
So lots going on. Completed Yoda and I have to say I was pretty sad to let him go. Its a great sculpt and was fun to work on. Except for the paint stripping part.
How he showed up:

And how he left:

He's still not perfect by any means, but I hope his owner is happy with the results. Its just as tough making resin look like a muppet as much as it is real flesh. Well I wasnt entirely going for a muppet look either. Just not the Episode I puppet. That abomination was worse than JarJar IMO. Thing was nightmarish looking.
And because I'm running on a half-assed installed version of Photoshop that keeps crashing, I'm going to keep this brief. Of course I finally sit down to do this.... *grumbles*
Well let's throw some red in here for stupid christmas being over with too. If you haven't taken your junk down yet, neighbors, you should get your ass out there.
(Hey I have to make this EVIL some how. Yoda? Spiderman?)

And ok, I got some primer to throw on Vampira, Dracula should be built by now as the construction is in the capable hands of my colleague Mr. Pigman Clemons, and I got this really nice kit of Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder and some more gems, but I'll just leave that for now and spread it out a bit.
Like I said, lots of time to build kits in between shoveling.
Oh, well here we go, somewhat evil-ish. I did finish this little Frankenstein replacement head.

You do some incredible work Thad! Amazing the difference a professional can do to a sculpture. The original Yoda looked HORRIBLE.. I'd love to have the complete one sitting in my house!
