 It's always amazing going back to a forum and finding a thread I started over a year ago. The first thing I usually think is, "Wow. Ummm -- I should finish that someday."

Anyhoo, since the last time I posted here, my 8-month-old is now almost 2, and my little girl is in the gifted program in 2nd grade. I played Warcraft as a raid healer, hit Tier 6, and then started on the new expansion. I've also added a Java SCJP certification to my list of overqualified, under-utilized skills, and I was recently laid off about a month ago. LOL.

Sooooo...it seems the only time I can ever get anything done is when I'm unemployed. LOL. Don't worry -- I'll start looking for work again after Christmas. ;)

So you ask -- did I make any progress?

Helmet -- Done. Just needs a some silicone and love. And preferably that love will not come from a toddler poking his fingers into the goo.
Shoulders -- Mostly done. Needs the ornament arc on the bottom cut into it.
Chest -- I keep going back and forth on this. I liked the sculpt, then I hated it. Then I liked it again. Then I spent a lot of time finishing it. Then I hated it. Then I kept working on it, and I liked it again. And now, I don't like it anymore.
Forearms -- Mostly done. Needs a few more hours of sanding/patching.

Everything else -- it's sitting in a box somewhere. I'm not sure what to do about the bodysuit. The action figure just has a baggy undersuit. But in a picture I saw somewhere, and the SW Miniatures figure, it looks like a quilted Vader undersuit. Obviously, that would have the most panache, so I might eventually get around to making a friendly bodysuit with quilted areas where it counts.

I'll try to get a couple of pics up tonight. Am somewhat in the middle of something, and strolled by here purely by curiosity.
