    Wow. Thank you so much dude. :) 
    I recommend wet and dry paper with greenstuff. It responds really well and will give a perfectly smooth finish with work.
    You will create wet green sludge whilst doing this though, so have a mat down.
    DH is looking good dude. :-D

    I recommend blades and wet and dry. Files are ok but can tear greenstuff.

    I think it looks great so far. Is his head organic or robotic?

    Thanks bud, Deaths Head is robotic

    Death's Head is a fictional character appearing in British comics and American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character is depicted as a robotic bounty hunter (or rather, as he calls himself, a "freelance peace-keeping agent"), and often ends sentences with "yes?". The character was created by writer Simon Furman and artist Geoff Senior for the company's Marvel UK imprint. Furman decided to use Death's Head in his Transformers stories, but believed that characters appearing in Transformers "were prone to be absorbed into that title's catchall copyright"[1] (allowing Hasbro to contest their ownership) and led to a one-page strip titled "High Noon Tex" (which was subsequently published in various Marvel UK titles) being hastily created to establish Marvel's ownership of the character.[1] Furman has stated that he chose the name Death's Head for the character while unaware of the "Nazi-connotations of the name", referring to the Waffen-SS Totenkopf Division, whose name translates to "death's head".[1]

    The character was later redesigned and relaunched as Death's Head II, acting as one of the flagship characters for Marvel UK's 1990s expansion. This version of Death's Head also inspired two spin-off characters, Death Wreck and Death Metal, each of which starred in its own limited series.

    Later, in 2005, fans used a poll on Marvel's website to vote for the character's return. This led to a third version of Death's Head, Death's Head 3.0, created by original Death's Head writer Simon Furman. Simon Furman said in 2011 that the character was still popular because “he'll never change or compromise or grow or repent or agonise like most comic book characters. He's this unchanging, uncompromising rock that other characters bounce off. But you still kind of love him. Weird.”[

    Re-working the head, chopped the top half off and re-shaped it, made the tusk bigger, whole head needs sanding yet ..the hands just pull out so happy he can hold a heavy metal sword without them falling off :lol  ..his balance is great too, can get some good dynamic poses out of him
