Description I've been working on this figure for quite some time and it is finally complete!

The figure stands 25cm (10 inches) tall from the bottom of the base to the tip of the ray gun.

From start to finish this piece took 77 hours and 14 minutes! I think that's the longest I've ever spent working on a model so far but I am so pleased with the result.

There is a felt covering on the bottom of the base to protect both the base any any surface it's placed on.

I signed and dated it on the back of the base in permanent marker.

You can see a 360 degree video on Youtube . (I need to get a better camera)
You can also see W.I.P. shots on my facebook page .

Wow, that is spot on from the movie! Amazing job and incredible details. You even made the teeth on the zipper so precisely... wow!

Thank you very much for saying so. There are some things that are slightly off with it but when aren't there? The zipper was actually quite fun to work on.

Oh, that is very true that everyone is their own worst critic. I still see a lot of things wrong with the pieces I made, but I can't find anything wrong with yours!

Awww thank you! I am just trying to be helpful too because I would have never gotten to where I am now without looking at many other people's tutorials and being inspired by their sculptures!

Thanks. Might be a bit large for a wedding cake though.

Next I am working on a more original piece. Still not my original design though. It'll be based on an illustration by someone I know on facebook.

Thank you! At some point in the future I will probably start selling off some of my figures when my cabinet starts getting too full.

Besides the head might've needed to be a bit uh.. squashed in and eye-brows darker.. Just me nitpicking, sorry.. could be younger gru.. XP

Really Awesome work done here!
Including the clothes-folds and details

I agree about his head. It wasn't until I had nearly finished him that I noticed and it was too late by that point. His eyebrows actually are darker than this but I had to lighten the picture to show the details properly.
