wow that is a fantastic job you are doing, and my youngest (the 16 year old) says you must have tremendous patience to do that!

Looking good!

This is just going to be awesome. Looks like I better get moving if I want to build a Boushh for my girlfriend! I was thinking I'd have to be her wookiee prisoner, but maybe we can size you for a collar instead! :)

Well, then, yeah, I guess you do need to build a Wook. [shrug] It's the only way to scratch the itch, buddy. There's no other cure. I'm terribly sorry. I hope your affairs are in order. I'll tell your wife you love her.

Very nice work. And I thought building a Stormtrooper from ABS plastic was a job to do.
Keep it up.. :thumbs:

I know I have been slacking on this. I should of had this done along time ago. I have been in no rush to get it done just work on it when I have time. I'm punching hair into the mask now. The closer to the edges I punch one hair at a time. The rest of the time it's maby four to five so it take a long time. So I take one hair with my punch tool ( its a needle with the eye cut at a angle) take the hair in the middle and punch it in. So it comes out to be 2 sticking out. Here are some pick's from a bit ago.
