I tried to make the eye color a little more accurate by placing a trans-orange behind the trans green, but while the color was pretty close, it looked odd from the wrong angle.

Joe, I love your Ackbar! Especially from an angled view, you really captured the "feel" of the character. I think the best part of the sculpture is that Ackbar's eyes ... well, really just "make" the bust! (21 years ago, 27-Apr-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)
