    Hey I came to your video from Bill & Studsun. Really cool build. Liked your podracer a lot. Seeing you sculpt your pilot (great choice for the character!) it's too bad you didn't know what you were doing. Sculpting wise that is. However he turned out phenomenal. I don't believe you & Anakin will be friends though. The sand thing might be a non starter.
