(...) Sorry. Can't help you. Don't have anything bad to say. Like the rest, I like the head and the slope plating-- just makes for a nice, smooth look. And I love the size!

Thanks Eric. The helmet was the first or second thing built. The modified engine might have been first. I just made a new set of hands. I'll have new images up in a day or so.
