Yoda...YAY!

My Yoda arrived. I was expecting some pretty bad air bubble holes near the eyes, but it really wasn't too bad.

I took some liquid latex and at first I was trying to be carefull to smoothly fill the holes...but then I decided to use the latex to paint on grooves to simulate wrinkles. It totally adds to the realism! That being said I think I will paint a base coat of green using the airbrush, then I will paint the details by hand...and be sure to leave lines in the right places to look like wrinkles. It should be fun!

Here he is before any painting. I think he's a bit too thin so I will likely fill him out a bit. I also have to cut my skeleton feet back a bit and run some wires in the saber hand so he can hold it on his own.
