Thud4444 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Is it just me or do you hear AC/DC's "Who Made Who" when looking at these pics? Fantastic Modeling. I introduced this movie to my son a few Halloweens ago. He likes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 This is incredible ... Tell me the eyes light up like the movie ? You could probably get away with posting a link in Sci-Fi for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unfinished project Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 “WE MADE YOU, WE MADE YOU” some of the best acting ever seen 🤣. This is stunning build wish I had the skill to build the American BIG rigs. 👏👏👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
