Head Vs Head WIP

Another build off with Whitebase... this time the theme is a gundam head.
I chose the zaku head... this will be my first and final WIP for this build till next year... got another group build... :( I really over committed.... :(

The idea is alot of these guys (about 30 of them) worshipping a big head!
This was my test model... not very happy with it.

The idea is that there is a shaman leading the worship ceremony and the 30 guys are lined up giving the Zeon salute. It will be set in a ruined temple. Not sure yet if im gonna do foilage. anyway here's the base.

Wanted the Zaku head to have a fin to show that it's a head from a squad leader had to scratch build one with plaplate... what a pain.
