Thanks, man--when I first slapped it al together, I looked at it and snapped that first shot. That's when I noticed just how young it looked.....definitely not the Kup we know and love. So I performed some minor surgery to his face with my hobby knife. I think it turned out well and gives him that beat up/old look. Still working on this and the others, so hopefully I'll have more progress to show soon.

Thanks, bro! "The other side", I like it. lol--As for working with diecast, I almost held off, but once I got rolling with this, I realized that it could be done and done well. I still need to hit the top area where the head is and dremel some of that diecast out. It will be a slow process, but I think this gonna turn out quite nicely (I hope!). Thanks again, glad I could help inspire you a bit! (your work inspires me also--especially your Botcon piece). Keep up the great work!

Awesome engineering job on Kup's head! Hollowing out the helmet is brilliant, and the age lines look amaze.

Great job!

Thanks, man! I wasn't sure how it would turn out at first, but I had a couple of extra Kup heads to try it on, so I went for it. Nearly took off a finger or two in the process also--it's hard to hold that small thing still to try and hollow it out with a dremel running on speed 3 or 4 out of 10. Got lucky and missed the fingers though! lol
