Really like your latest customs, geat paint apps on all of these really well done. What head did you use for the fat "Maul"? Also your Ziro's tattoos on the belly look really good, I like how you toned them down so they dont appear like they are just "painted" on. Great stuff.

The head for the fat Zabrak came from Slayer Design Studios.  I just modified it by adding horns from a shirtless Savage to make it a Zabrak.  I've been using a lot of their heads lately.  Thanks for the nice feedback.

Thanks for all the complimentary feedback everybody.  I'm finally happy with the way he looks and I can officially say this one is a wrap.

Brian, you are doing such great work these days! Your Ziro is simply perfect! The sculpting you have done is spot on! The paint work looks perfect! Great update to your Ziro and I vote yes on the dull cote.

Thanks L.E.

I'm going to spray on the dull cote when I get home.  So glad this one's done.  I just wrapped up the Unhooded Jawa too.  I still have to take the pics though.  Glad you like the new stuff I've been doing.  With all the amazing work I've been seeing in the forums these days, it's easy to get lost in the shuffle.

dread to think how much a comissioned one would cost ....

Definitely cheaper for friends, but it's a pretty labor intensive figure.  Now that I know what is needed it would probably go faster.  If the CW Jabba figure were cheaper, it would definitely help to reduce the cost.

I bought the head from Slayer Design Studios.  I only had to paint the head, neck and hands.  Oh yeah, the eyes too.
