Dude, this is great work! It looks a little clunkier than i’d really like to
see it, but I’m no mech or jumbo-fig modeling expert myself, so I offer that as
truly constructive criticism (pun not necessarily intended, but certainly
amusing as I write). Either way, I’m stoked to see that somebody is adding some
more “fantastic” creatures to the KKII world. Here are some of the things that
I think stand out In lugnet.castle, Matthew Wightwick wrote:

Jasper is able to swivel around a pin in his waist. Also, his jaw is hinged,
and he can nod, shake, and cock his head, due to the following joint:

That joint is a stroke of genius.

I also built a club for Jasper to hold.

And what is the measure of a troll’s worth, if not the size of his club? (I
honestly didn’t mean for that to sound so “adult”, I hope I’m not asked to
voluntarily cancel my post!?!)

Unfortunately, both Jasper and his club are too top heavy to pose in a battle
scene with Vladek, as was my intention. I may go back and redesign Jasper’s
legs, but I decided I’d procrastinated enough with taking these pictures.

I’m looking forward to see the rebuild with the troll v. vladek, although they
seem to make more appropriate allies than adversaries. : ) Either way, I totally
know what you mean about wanting to rebuild something, but you hold off just
because you haven’t snapped & posted flicks. I held off on tearing down a
fairly large moc of an SW imperial outpost for the greater part of last year. I
finally photographed it this past february and pulled it apart immediately
thereafter. I still haven’t attepted a rebuild on it, nor have I posted the
flicks that I have of it. Oh well, c’est la vie.
Keep up the good work in the land down under,

| G'day, I'd like you to meet a friend of mine. This is Jasper, the troll. (URL) Jasper is my first castle MOC, based loosely upon the trolls from Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels. (The Discworld trolls were what I originally had in mind, but Jasper (...) (20 years ago, 5-Mar-05, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !!
