    Got five pieces of this “display base” of UT Dragoon. Combined to form Driller, aka Colossus from DotM.
    Black sprayed, dry brushed with silver.
    The teeth on the rim is a pain in the arse. So many of them and I’m still working on them.

    i am an old customer and so the toy store owner did me a favour. He asked the other buyers if they do not want the display stand. That’s how I got four more for an extreme cheap price. $100 Hong Kong dollar for 4 pcs.

    14.99? USD?
    I got 4 of them for $100 HKD, approx. $12.9 USD. That means $3.2 USD one piece.

    Just an update. 90% finished. Still need a glossy coat, and maybe some rust? I don’t know. 615B7F83-E03A-4453-B96C-DDDAD52D6A33.jpeg 06961FBD-A32C-42E1-8C72-A4C4E40B0AB3.jpeg 3B9DBC82-4A40-42EB-8287-BE91779B211B.jpeg 93208CF5-5E2A-4855-BC63-BDE80085195B.jpeg

    Hey,lol, I didn't say it was a good price. I just said that's what he had them for. I don't think most people are going to find them for much less. Let Alone 4 the price you paid.

    Here is a photoshop of what 20 of them would possibly look like.

    lol, yea I get that.
    I may stop at five too if the price is going too high. I just think it may look better if it’s a bit longer. And actually it’s missing the five tentacles, not sure if Uniquetoys will make them tho.

    Update: Added some rust, will leave it for the moment. Hopefully will get the remaining four pieces soon.

    Awesome work. Perhaps Zeus ZS-01 would be a suitable figure for this :)
