Thanks!  I forgot to post instructions:
"http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/fwcain/people/martian-instruct.jpg"
I built mine using the two 8x8 radar dishes (in Khaki :-P  )
from a Gungan Patrol, a Gasgano head, a clear 2x2x1.67 dome/"bell-jar",
and a few other pieces.  If I had the 8x8 dishes in grey,
I would have used that instead.

Anyway, I built this in response to that movie "Mars Attacks!"
by Tim Burton [?], IIRC, from several years back.
You know, the one in which Jack Nicholson plays two different roles,
both of whom get whacked by the Martians.  ;-)

Thanks,
Franklin

I've made new(er) images of this model, now that we've got a CAD file for the
Star Wars alien face.

Also, I've revised the construction, to make the model sturdier.  I'm using two
2x4 Technic plates (each w/ two 1x2 plates, to lock the 2x4 plates together), as
you can see in these images:

Please LMK WYT! ;)
