I love this build! You are using what you have and making it look fantastic. I love the toes you made and I will be doing something similar in my build.

Hello everyone.

Long time since last post.

This ( and a lot of other projects) was hibernated again as my Dad became one with the force last August 30, 2017. ( saddest birthday ever )

Have recently acquired some Gray hair ( not the best color) and will blend it with some blacks and whites and browns, to try to achieve the correct shade.

Hopefully i get the ball rolling again on this.

Shall post new progress pics as it happens.

So sorry to hear about your Dad omel - he is indeed one with the Force.

I'm delighted to see you back and look forward to pics - this is one of my favourite builds.

Hi all,

Warm greeting from the Philippines... ( Warm is an understatement..nyahaha)

had to try and drape the gray hair extension i found over the mask... not as screen accurate as i would want...too straight & a little shiny as well. but i'm hoping when the hair gets handled during the latching process it will lose some of its sheen and become less straight...

Test latch hook of hair... mesh holes too small... eill either look for new mesh or smaller latch hook...😉

This looks awesome! To lose the sheen on your hair you could use a trick that we use for historical costume wigs. Use a dry cheap dry shampoo. They have a white powder in it and if you use just a little it will lessen the sheen of the hair...and make it smell great.
