looks wonderful!

But I think unfortunately all your greeblies are 10% smaller than the actual prop.

Just kidding! I know that would give you a heart attack if that were true! HA!

Looks beautfil! Can't wait to see them all finished and painted!

actually, all of them are 1cm too BIG! hehe. I already had that heart attack when I found out that the leg greeb was couple of centimeters off. I used someone's cardboard cut out as a reference. I will try to pronounce the dimples a bit more. LOL "DIMPLES"

edit:
OMG! I totally missed two major pics of the greebs because I put em in a separate folder under "bodysuit." sheesh, good thing I didn't bake em just yet. DCB, I didn't realize that you did take the side shots of the knife greeb. I can't believe I totally missed them.
I am trying to see if I can find some belt clips too for version 2.0, so that it's easier assembly. The whole set will cost more cause of the detail, extra materials, and extra parts for assembly. But they are definately Work in progress right now.

Tanks, couldn't do it without dcb's pics--he really has great peepers. Couldn't have asked for better pictures.

OUCH! casting version 2.0 greebs is a pain in the tookas! I am thinking it'll take at least a month for me to have these ready in kits. A couple have to have a double mold, and the mouse greeb's rope broke off in the mold, and had so many airbubbles cause of the way it sits in the molding material and because of all the little details in the greeb i put in. Those things are just waiting for airbubbles to collect dem rapscallions!
Edit, Sorry, but I spoke too soon, the mouse greeblie resin cast version 1.0 is not worth it because it took a lot of sanding damage. The molds were cut up to be used for the newer version 2.0. and I can't release my only original resin casts of version 1.0. Really sorry to those who were interested in version 1.0. They used to look like:

RTV sure starts getting expensive when you get airbubble problems.

Bottle : Purple, flat aluminum,yellow, gold
Football : flat aluminum+ blue, yellow+white, gold+yellow+??, gold dry brush
Arm: gold+black, ??, ??red
Leg: (Some kinda aqua green), brown, blue+red,

Zam, those look spectacular. Just curious - did you use any sort of clear topcoat after you painted them, or did you just use the acrylic color?

Hey guys! I am very impressed with all of the hard work you have put into your costumes! Everything I have seen LOOKS GREAT!!!! I decided to start one of my own about a month ago. My first problem is...where to start. Second problem is where to get the materials to supply the first problem... =-)
