Daryl's Dengar build [WTF]

[daryldoak]

Today was a surprise BBB day.  Took less than a month to receive my kit from WTF (ordered on 3/5).

I began rough trimming the kit this weekend:

I think I got these paired up correctly, and on the correct leg, but I'm not sure it really matters because it's Dengar after all.

After:

6 - 20mm for thighs (front and back) and shins (front only)

1 - 15mm for forearms (front only)

There was a major casualty with making these coverstrips.  I was not wearing my cut-proof gloves (go figure), and my left ring-finger got in the way.  Cut a gnarly gash just below the fingernail.  Bled forever.  Since the sliced skin was still partially attached, when I got the blood to slow I glued the skin flap down with zap-a-gap.  Worked like a charm.  Not a good scenario for my planned 3 troops this Saturday in my TK rubber gloves.   

Here are the mock-ups with the cover strips:

Got the front of the shins done.  Will size and add the rear coverstrips later.

Added the front coverstrip onto the right thigh.  I only have enough magnet to do one thigh at a time.

I glued the 3-button plate on the ab:

Then out the back of the chest-box area so the chest will rest better on the ab:
