    That came out really nice. Good job on the sculpt and the suit really looks good.

    One thing though. Something was bothering me just a bit. I searched the web and I think it's his hair color, it seems a bit dark, making him look a little younger.



    Here's a quick photoshop of the custom pic with the hair more grey.



    Like I said, I love what you've done, just think it might look a bit better with lighter hair. Hope you don't mind the constructive comment.

    He turned out excellent, did you do any more customs? Just asking?

    Thanks guys, i'm not entirely happy with his tunic and may redo it.

    Not at all Dave, i know what you mean about the hair colour.
    I originally did it a light grey but when i watched the movie at the weekend his hair looked darker ( a kind of salt and pepper/Gun metal grey ) so i re-painted it trying to do the streaky effect but it didn't come out too well.
    In my pictures his outfit looks brighter than it really is and his hair looks darker.

    I look forward to seeing your take on him

    The new pic you took looks a lot lighter than the first ones and I like it much better. I think much of the darkness I was seeing was the photograph.

    I agree, it's hard to do that salt and pepper thing and make it look right. You're better off picking a shade and going with it.

    OK, i've had another go at doing his " salt and pepper hair " by adding lighter streaks. It still looks a bit off but i think it's better than it was.
    The lighting in the pic's makes it look different than it really is, before it looked too dark now it looks too light.
