Hey, can I ask what the part is that you said you went "a little overboard with the detail" on? I thought the small detail under the front of the neck area was annoying. If there is something much worse than that, I would love to know what lol. I'm still finishing it either way. I find myself fudging it more and more on the tiny tabs and just cutting them off. I fill in the space with hot glue
Well, if you think about it, its only a really tiny flat no detail spot I'm cutting off depending on where it is. I don't leave out the whole piece, just cut off the really tiny tabs the side of the mouse cursor. Oh well, I am done with the front section, the pecs are complete, now moving on to the shoulders and then the back. Then to connect around the waist. I have to say, this is probably the hardest pep piece I have ever done and it will probably take the longest. I am in my room at my workbench every chance I get. My parents say I'm gonna turn white... Not that its possible to get a tan now lol.
P.S. a quick little idea. See in my avatar the hat I got at an army surplus store? I got the unsc pin at a game stop. I could press that into the wet bondo and it would make a cool little indented unsc insignia. Shoulder symbol idea?! I don't know, I think I want to make up my own shoulder symbol. Maybe on chest over the sternum. (Thats the bone that goes up in the middle of your ribs if you didn't know.)
oh i ment the lil buts at the back, on each side of the top bit of black detail. the bits where the screws or something go. yea, alot of the tabs a a lil pointless cuza how small they all get. lol, hardest eh? ill take that as a complament.
idea say the lil unsc insignia would be nice on a descrete part as if its like a hallmark or the like. or perhaps on the left man -boob (cant rember the name).

Just wanna see if you can determine if I should go smaller in scaling. It's at 27 right now.
If you need more pics I can get some. I just didn't wanna make another thread for this.
Gotta love my messy basement.
im not too sure, it looks a lil big but then again it is the tester. better to get a few other opinions. every one else? oh and dont worry about makin new threads for stuff like checking if it looks right, feel free to use tis one (that goes for everyone).

OMFG! What are the odds... I have the EXACT same blue truck as you
"its an improbability level of... oh i dont know, but something very large"
---------------------
in other news, im thinking of quiting collage. I've got a degree in model making and design for film and media and i was goin or a higher degree in production design for theatre, film and tv and im finding it very, very, very, very boring. i know i can do it, thats not the problem, its the acuialy having to prove it to these morons that i can. (to put it in context as to how i know i can do it; last year my theatre design was chosen to repesent ireland as our first entery into the prauge quadranial(that means this exhibition only happens once every four years). i got a 2 week free holiday in prauge and got to give a lecture about my set to people who didnt understand what i was saying= fun).
anyway, if i do quit it means my income will double becuase i wont be working part time anymore, i can move out (again), have less of a commute time(currently 3-4 hours daily), and i'll ultimitly be able to spend more time on my own projects like the models for here and what not.
they're the pro's, the cons are i have already written my thesis which is the hardest part.... hmm... i suppose that should be the con, not the cons. still thoe, its a prity big one.
so whata you guys think?
