    Ok I'm waiting to scratch build an overlord head for my upcoming custom. It's gonna be on the armada tidal wave base figure so that's the sorta size I'm going for.

    Just looking for opinions on a good place to start and something that looks een a but like his face with the smirk on his face or puckered up lips!

    Thanks in advance people!

    Yep contacted but no response. I have dealt with Allen a few times and his work is fantastic! However looks like I won't be able to obtain that one from him :( 

    Trust me id love to get a cast of that head!

    I'd go with the smirk, the big lip look could just come across as blue steel or pouting.

    I'm going to do something with Tidal wave myself when i go off sick for my hernia op. (pieced together and bought a Tidalwave at AA for £4, why not.)

    The BotCon Gigatron had a decent head sculpt (specifically designed to evoke the LSOTW look)... but I'd wonder if anyone who owns the mold is willing to make a head cast for it...

    Heck, wouldn't mind a head cast for Kick-Over/Off, and in the future Slipstream and Depth Charge... >_>
