Final LED check and we are all good, now to get this buttoned up and finished off. And all buttoned up at the back.

Putting this back together now, finished the wiring and the decals is on the base, happy with so far. Still the odd bit to paint and weather and top coat the base.

Very very nice work, looks fantastic. Have a look at an aliexpress load of 3d resin prints on there, you might find what you're looking for.

Cheers. I have found the broken wire, so as I had the spine dismantle,I remade it. Still need dill a few holes in the base and I will need to repaint a few parts bit I think I like it more. You can see I have painted in the teeth, they where chrome but I didn't like it so repaint with GW paint and a nice dirty wash, still have a few small parts to finish on the skull.

Plastic try being used as the base now, look a bit better than the ruff wood and have some stickers to fit to it so it now so dull. Unfortunately I have broken the wire going up through the spine part so I'm currently taking that apart to find and fix the broken wire. And if you have seen @madtatt falcon build and a look at his work bech, mine is the other end of the scale....😀

That I really very nice.

Looking very nice.

Some paint here and a few decals to save my sanity trying to paint lines.

Cheers all for the interest, old Bob seems to have a name and a bit more painting, still a bit to do. Not sure about the colour of the metal plates, I'm thinking rusty yellow? The other eye is installed and wired together with a green flashing LED and after I made the two front fangs, I thought he looked a bit more horror, so added some organic tentacles creeping out of the holes made by the cyborg implants. Bob is now a cyborg vampire-alien hybrid.... I still need to find him a proper base, might have to take a trip to home bargains and see what plastic tubs they have.

Cheers. Like Madonna???

Bit of light fitting done tonight. Glued in the left eye and the 3 other lights. All looks a bit washed out in the photos but happy with these, the blue is a flashing LED. And this one is going to need more filler, the central hole will have wire/spring coming out of it. upload images

Attacking this one part at a time, painted this side piece and will now back light it with a flashing blue and a constant red led.

So Keighley show is now out of the way I can get back to this, I have sprayed the inside with a nice thick coat of primer then black, and based the outside of the skull with spray cans, grey primer, black then some white. Before I start on the paint it's time to get serious out the lighting. First eye terminator style....

Cheers Tim you beet me to it.....😀.

Cheers, oooh barcode is a great call. Chrome teeth. Thanks Brian

First of the head tattoo ideas, we'll it actually aboutbthe third but the other were total crap...😆 This is done in pen when I paint I will try and hand brush these....eeek....

I have read a few Reynolds books but not that one, any good? I'm due a good sci-fi opera after all the fantasy stuff I have been through. Just finished the Twinborn Chronicles by Morin ( not great) and the 5th book in the Malazan epic, these really test the reader. Oh definitely, shiny chrome ones.....

Now I thinking of turning the canine teeth into fangs???? To much?

Cheers Pete. I had thought about a bullet hole or a plaster or a bit of bandage, but I think I'm going with the tattoo bone idea at the moment.

So working down the neck and all the parts fitted for that now and testing out some LEDs This thing bleeds light like nothing else, so need to go back and fill holes and black paintbtge inside before fitting the lights properly. This is what we have at the moment. Had to widen the base a little as it was a bit wobbly.

Very nice!

He is looking fantastic, really nice looking kit as well. Not one I seen before.

Added the spring to eye up to the head and and started making the neck/spine so it not just a bolt you can see. Finished clearing out the top teeth. Will hopefully find a few more parts for the spine and I'm one with making the lighting circuit. That big hole in his head will need filling once the lights are in place.

Cheers, that is the plan even if I get it all built and the lights fitted and painted him after Halloween, I would be happy. I can remember the rules on posting TY links, but I did a short video as I'm not sure I want to do much more with the main skull as I want to try my hand at some freehand painting tattoo-type decals. , I do need to do more with the right eye, need to add in some wires etc and he needs a spine of some sort to go over the threaded bar.

Here we go again.... copper wire and tyre valves, And have just about finished the bottom teeth. In this one you see the difference in the teeth.
