Let my try this again - the first time I attempted to post these pictures, the site froze up on my computer. It took an hour and a half to scan all my files to make sure that none are damaged.
I'll just post pictures of the progress that I made before I posted these on hobbytalk. I've made a little more progress since then, but it's been an arduous journey trying to get this done. This has tested all my personal mettle psychologically, and artistically! I've had to redo parts for this more than I ever did on any other model so far - including the four foot X-wing. This is actually pissing me off! I've had to stop all work in favour of researching the construction of the fingers. When I conquer these, I'll have more progress to post. I hope to have enough people interested in this, or I'll just have enough money make one, then sell it on ebay. I need at least another $75.00 for casting materials, and another $85.00 + for the chrome that I need to make these with. I want to offer these as a kit, but pre-chromed, so all you have to do is put it together, then paint the base however you wish.
I've seen some people on ebay put LEDs in these, so I'll leave the bases unpainted for anyone who wants to do this, so they don't damage the finish. I hope you all enjoy this thread anyway.

Perhaps a picture of a squirrel playing a harmonica, or my license plate will make you feel better?
