Im still waiting with pure excitement! I thought you were going to have your feet flat on the ground, so I was a bit stumped how you would pull the legs off. But now I see your going to be standing up inside. Makes sense lol.
Good luck man
So i almost have all the supplies needed to start thi s project pretty much yards and yards of fiberglass cloth and cardboard i figure after the second week in jan ill have some good progress pictures for you guys
Some part of me is still very reluctant to believe this project will even begin due to the ambitious nature of itself.
Can't wait to see pictures, thats for sure, it'll definitely quench my non-believing side.
Edit: I noticed how you have the human situated in the body, with the legs of the man going into the dread's. But in the parts you need to cast it seems like the hips are solid.

People tend to notice Pariahs. If you're in a crowded room with one, everyone's killing themselves.
I am interested in how you redesign the hip-joints so that they will actually work in 1/1 scale. The design of the Dread' is such that in 'real life' if you were to try to raise a leg you could not balance and would fall over. The most extreme examples of this faulty design are the killa-can types of vehicle. If a bi-ped cannot balance on one leg then it cannot move. You can demonstrate this by spreading your legs and then trying to move without shifting your weight to one leg first. Anyhow, as I say, I am waiting to see how you solve the problem.

This is what I like most about the hobby: you start off with something looking pretty, well... crappy... when compared to what it will become. The evolution in it is what always fascinates me. So, in short: we want updates!

Listen, my children, as I pass onto you the truth behind Willy Wonka and his factory. For every wonka bar ever created in existance, Mr. Wonka sacraficed a single Oompa Loompa to the god of chocolate, Hearshys. Then, he drank the blood of the fallen orange men because he fed them a constant supply of sugary chocolate so they all became diabetic and had creamy, sweet-tasting blood that willy could put into each and every Wonka bar. That is the REAL story behind willy wonka's Slaughter House!
