Cheers man... I always wanted to put an extensive build report on here ,when I finally finished (feb28/2011)the entire board seems to have been made over and the other bounty hunters section has gone !....ah well!
and a couple o W.I.P. shots
and I do troop with him and the battledroid,they both dismantle for transport ,at gigs they become a photo op and serve as a support prop for the guys and gals in armour,kinda bridges the gap between actual costumes and the props display.
Someone may have mentioned it above and I only barely scanned the posts but check Skaught's IG-88 out from CV. He also has head kits to get you started.
i think you could do an IG88 but the arms and legs would need to be puppet like, in the way that c3p0 was in the new trilogy. just wear a black leotard and make a rig that atatches to your anms and legs then it will mirror your actions perfectly. It will take some engineering but totally doable.
That's just gorgeous. My buddy and I were just talking about doing an IG-88 and what kind of an undertaking that would be...clearly a beast of a build.
