It's the most accurate pt 4 I've ever seen to match up w/ those pics. And everyone wants a 1:1 scale. You are the man to make it happen. Just sayin, but I respect whatever your decision is.<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndMan, that's just it. I've already <i>said</i> what I needed to say about this design through the Party Crasher. It was created using the driving force of inspiration and anger that I've accumulated over the last 10 years to finally own a really awesome and accurate Part 4 replica. If I were to remake this design in a life-size version, the motivation just wouldn't be there. I'd only be doing it for monetary purposes because I'm currently burned out on the design. Therefore, I don't trust myself to make it NEARLY as accurate as I did the first time around...Not yet, anyway.Furthermore, I'd end up stepping on the toes of a LOT of fine people, including Justin, my friend James, and even Jim Kagel himself...That would be bad times.I understand it's a bad decision to NOT sculpt a full size Part 4 cause I'd sell like hundreds of them if I did, but that simply isn't what I'd like to do right now. That's why I posted the thread to gauge interest in the Phantom design, because I'm dead set to make my next piece "something that ISN'T Jason-related."Thanks and cheers,Ryan
