8inch custom robot QEE wip - ready to prime!

I apologize for the bad quality of the photos, but I just can't get my wife's camera phone to focus on the toy and not the wall! I had to resort to using her phone as I cannot find the memory card of my little old camera. Anyways, I needed to show this to my client for approval as I will paint it as soon as he approves of all the simple modifications done to the vinyl so far.

I managed to do a bit more today as I feel a little better today than the previous 4 days! No fever for the first time in so many days! Anyways, I managed to add all those zimmerit stuffs on the legs and butt area, added some sort of pigtail wires to the head, a Zaku nose, lots of weld marks and of course I was able to add a face to the pilot.

The pilot is a frog like creature I plan to color, well... green. Instead of a tongue sticking out I sculpted 5 tooth with Tamiya putty. The darker tanning weld marks are also Tamiya quick type putty as I have more freedom to work with it as it dries way longer than the lighter colored putty I used as zimmerit patterns. The lighter colored putty is Selleys aqua type.

I hope this looks steam punk enough to my client as I am excited to weather and paint this already! Now here are more lousy pics...
