Hell, there were so much ideas what to do or sculpt! A superdetailed Speeder Bike with new pilot, a AT-ST Chicken Walker from Bandai, a scratch build DEATHSTAR from RETURN OF THE JEDI and many more. But thinking of time and what exactly to do in these projects let me fail and concentrate on things more practible: Sculpting a figure in a smaller scale was the desired wish. But what figure it should be?? After thinking and checking some Art books I found the cantina sequence in A NEW HOPE a treasure full of original characters. I thought, yap, here I will find my fellow: The Hammerhead. You know, this sinister looking Alien, sitting in a corner over his drink. I found in RON COBBS COLORVISION a production sketch, showing the full figure and bingo! Here I will go.

Certainly an out of the box idea and the first sculpt for the group build!
Now I have to google this one to kill my curiosity!!

Thanks along, folks! Hope, not to disappoint you all!
Dupes: Scale, a little bit bigger, I think of 1:20 or 1:16 so far. And cool, you know that Dude and I even had an idea where he would be from!
Shay, check out Ron Cobb on Google, there are two or three pics of the painting, too. So, you can see him in his full glory, in the movie, there was only a more or less complete head shot.
Guy: Delicious, gulp? I have no idea how he may TASTE, gargl!!
Stay tuned, I hope to have some news soon.

Frank - don't know if you watch the Rebels animated series or not, but there are many instances of full-body shots of Ithorians if you're in need of further reference.

Ah, how cool! I shoud google this guy! No, I am not it in this, I am more the old fashioned guy, looking for Designer books and art prints. Just missed the modern times as it looks... Thanks a ton for the ideas!!

Dupes, I think no because it is not so my scale. I would like to have him similar to the Knightmodel line. We will not get more of these figures, but the scale (around 70/75mm) is a cool one. And for MAYBE casting the figure, it would be far more cheaper than doing it even bigger, harhar!

Ahhh, hadn't thought that you had another line of figures you might be trying to match. Going to be cool anyway!  |

Sadly, I have a very "bad" time frame these days and not as much free time as usual. Hope, this will settle a bit, but for the next weeks, I am done, heck!
