Yeah, that looks a lot better, especially with the added damage detailing; the cracked windshield is a really nice touch. 'Can't wait to see what you do with Steeljaw!

Thanks I carved the windshield up before I took the first pics. I thought about trying to do it on the head lights, and tail lights but I didn't think it'd show since they are so small. For the added damage I used the dry brush technique. I need to finish the painting on Steeljaw and he'll be done. Hopefully this afternoon. I actually made some flaps that fold down on the side of his head. Here's a preview:

 

How'd you make the hinge for the flaps?

How'd you make the hinge for the flaps?

 

1st) I carved out the top sides of his neck

2nd) I drilled a hole on both sides in the back neck wall

3rd) I used a razor knife to carve out between his ears, and cheeks

4th) I took a piece of styrene plastic tubing, cut it to fit in the side of the neck

5th) I cut a piece of styrene coated wire to fit from the hole in the back wall of the neck through to the slit between the ear and cheeks and then glued the wire into the slit, and glued a piece of .010 styrene over the wire so it wouldn't show.

 

Painted pics coming soon. His paint is drying.

I friggin love this Detritus, I may consider doing it with my Hound.
