I would have never known..that is some flawless hair sculpting. Be proud of those figs man. They look production.


I don't know about flawless... I never showed you the back view! :) Thanks for the kind words. This kind of response gets me excited to get my WIPS finished and posted! Thanks!

I usually don't have such a hard time recognizing parts as I did the Anakin head you used for Grunt. I've got to say it's one of the best heads I've seen anyone use for Grunt. While Anakin is younger than I'd imagine Grunt the hair you sculpted makes him look older and more mature. Really an amazing job on my favorite member of the original 13. The trooper Sgt. is pretty slick too. Flawless work on both.

Edit: The more and more I look at your Grunt the more it makes me want to hunt that Anakin down and replace my comic pack grunt head with it. So I might have to even though I really like the comic pack likeness when compared to the comic art I just love the use of the Anakin head so much.

Don't go crazy hunting just yet! Alyosha may be casting the head and selling it on his website soon. I'm still waiting to hear back from him, but he has expressed interest in casting the head and I've agreed to the terms so... Anyway thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you like them both. I like the comic pack Grunt as well, but I never really gelled with his look in that issue (Operation: Wingfield!) I always thought his hair was too long. I prefer the Trimpe/ McLeod look from issue #1- the briefing room Grunt wll always be Grunt to me- that's why I chose this head!

Very nice work. I hardly recognized Anakin head. The Cobra looks great as well.
