Awesome thanks Anaria hoping I get round to yours sometime over the next few weekends so you can see him in person and we can take some pics.

I've abandoned the base I made for him....it just didn't work, not star warsy enough he looks better just on a table or whatever. I think I will hide him in my fridge when my parents next visit and then ask them to get the milk :D

Someone at San Diego ComicCon has done a Hondo costume, with monkey-lizard - though I like your one much better :)

Ha thanks mate! Hey that's a nice costume and the lizard looks great. I wonder if there's a build thread somewhere I'd like to see how they did it. Looks to be about the same size as mine too.....but I think mine's got a bit more 'tude. I'd love to be able to do a soft posable one....I'll put it on the project list. Thanks Anaria!

Hey all I've gotten some time to get back to the monkey lizards. I've had a few requests for these so I am starting on the builds but me and a couple of mates are going to run a table at this years Armageddon and I am preparing a customised lizard as a display piece and draw people over to the table.
I've him hanging from a PVC pipe and what I want to do is make the pipe a bit more Star Warsy without going to too much trouble as I have got HEAPS to get ready for this year. I think the pipe will be about 3m high or so

Does anyone have any suggestions for a quick upgrade to the pipes? Any good Star Wars pipe pics out there :)

Your pipe-hanging pose is a great idea!

Here are a couple of pics I've just taken of your ROTJ-style paint scheme (which Kristy and I think is superb!):

wow awesome MG nice pics! yeah he looks cool. He's got a fair bit of the salacious in him but is still his own distinct paint scheme.

Looking at a pic of him I do wonder about using some dulling spray or a matt clear coat to tone down that shiny thing on his skin

I'll leave it up to you fullas I'm happy either way

see you on Saturday!

Finished the latest lizard and pole for Armageddon. I've based him on a pic of a green lizard but I've pushed the greens over to be much brighter. This is basically to attract people's attention as they walk by!
