Well, there he is, completed and built. He's not exciting. Well, sort of. If you look really, really closely, you will see I sacrificed a Dark Vengeance Librarian to build him. Not only did I use the force weapon arm, but I also cur off the shoulder pad to mount on the front and the book on his side to add to this one's side. What I really wanted to do was cut off the force sword and put it on another, more dynamically posed arm. I also realized I don't have a ton of time to get all that done. I want to try to have him painted by Friday and I'm not sure I'm going to get that all done. Monday evening I'm busy, Tuesday I'm working, Wednesday the family goes out for Halloween, and Friday my inlaws come into town. Add to that that the weather has just gotten pretty cold so it's not a very good time to prime. I don't think the weather is going to be back into the 60's until Wednesday. I might be able to find a few hours during the week, but I really doubt it.
Oh, well, even if I don't get it done in time, I've got it built and that means I will get it painted sometime in the next few months along with all the other bikes. I guess there's something to be said for getting it assembled.
The one other thing that this reminds me is that my bits box is very, very depleted of "flair". No cruxes, scrolls, books, or a lot of other cool dealies and bobbers. I had to really dig in to even find extra purity seals. I may have to bite the bullet, gather $20 and buy some stuff on line or something. I don't really want to spend money, but I guess I have to put some money to this hobby every year. I think I've only spent $7 this year and I guess it's time to drop a little more. Poop.
One last thing... I acquired templates for a 3d printable item that is remarkably similar (but in no way infringing) to a Drop Pod. Now all I need is a friend with a 3d printer and I might make a few...
