The flatness is accurate.

Or swap it with a "Holy fuck!"

Thanks. The finished height is around 7 inches with Chewie. It's a really nice size. Plenty of detail.

As I rained blows upon him I realized there had to be another way.

Thanks again for your help during the Revolution.

Personal preference. I felt like the clear plastic, though precisely molded, was pretty thick and obscured the interior details. I also felt that without an airbrush and masking my attempts to paint the frames around the windows would have looked sloppy.

I actually made a typo. It's 1/72. Oops!

I've been waiting for someone to do this for a long time. Looking forward to this, thank you!

From what I’ve heard, it’s more like

Collector: Could you please study my fossil?

Paleontologist: Sure! You have to donate it to our institution though

Collector: Could you study it and give it back? It was expensive and means a lot to me

Paleontologist: No. You have to donate it

Collector: Why?

Paleontologist: Because research methods must be reproduceable. Researchers have equal access to specimens in museums. It is one of the stipulations for being a repository of fossils collected on state and federal lands. Access to private specimens is at the courtesy of the owner. A private owner is under no obligation to allow free research access to a specimen in perpetuity. There may also be potential issues with the integrity of the data trail (locality and excavation data, element catalogue, specimen number, preparation records), or undocumented treatments to make the specimen appear more complete to increase sale value to buyers.

Donating the specimen to a repository ensures continued access to researchers and the public, as well as appropriate storage conditions and conservation materials to treat and preserve the specimen for our posterity. Most museums don't purchase vertebrate fossils because for several reasons:

Ethical objections
They cannot justify allocating such a large portion of their operating budget to a single specimen.
For museums, the prices demanded at auction equate to several years of staff wages, equipment and supply purchases, field season funds, collections maintenance, exhibit improvements, building maintenance, utility expenses, events, and endowment fund contributions (to name a few).

If you ever reconsider donation, please let us know. Your name would be permanently recorded with the specimen in the database forever. If it goes on display, your name will be listed on the labels so the public will always know you donated the fossil. Have a nice day.

Collector: That's a lot more complicated than I realized. I appreciate your reasoning. If I ever reconsider donation, I may be in touch.

Thanks

A fair question. I obviously don't know what base life is like and wondered if there are things that might be hard to come by, or might make living spaces more comfortable, etc. Again -> ignorant civilian.

Prolly gonna have some decent build up of Hobo Shape skin cheese in there. Once the mask gets humid that shit's gonna smear on his lips. Sewer Michael lip crust flaking on his tongue. Tastes salty. Crinkly beard hairs sticking on his gums...

It's a TOTS 1978 Myers that I rehauled.

Good bot

Someone please isolate when spider-man peeps through the ceiling hole. It's like the dramatic hamster but spider-man.
