I always thought Skeletron was a bit lanky looking, but this guy looks fantastic !
Im especially impressed with those logos, are those painted ? stenciled ? or stickered ?
I would love to be able to achieve logos as neat as yours !

Excellent work as always

The back of the head has a similar design to the Shad helmet , so not a dead Kraken, maybe a life support system?

Thanks, I put the sticker there to make it look like some kind of support system, if I get another skeletron I might try and dremel the front of the head away to make a removeable mask...
The logos are transfers I print off for restickering originals or customs... If you want any let me know as I have loads of different types...

I could use some small ones, similar size to the one you have used on skeletron.
SAS, Z, Q, Enemy. small enough for a chest or shoulder logo.
are these the ones on transparent backing ?

OH MY GOD, THIS IS SWEEEEEEEET! (sorry for shouting but this is awesome!)
you have managed to make him believable! i thought about making my vindicator a shadow (a shadow patrol found him lying amongst the wreckage & fixed him up) & giving him a skull mask, he could have been this guy!!!!!!
nice work, if you make anymore i wanna buy/trade one!
still really want one of your z force dudes......

I have loads of figure sizes force logos for Z / SAS / Shadow so can send some along for you to have an experiment with?
Circley ones are on transparent paper or the edges show when being cut out but most are square or triangular so are on white paper as they are much easier to cut out... If its on transparent paper it just needs a smaller bit of blank white transfer paper placed behind it... Sounds a bit faffy but its pretty easy once you get used to it and I find it worth it...
Once ive got a good supply of paper in im thinking of selling repro sticker sets or just generic logos etc, not sure if many people would be interested though...

Thanks, glad he turned out so well as I used some silly parts on him as the torso is from Major Bludd from a convention set (kept the skull troopers to go with my original Major Bludd) and the skeletron cost me #12 to rip the head off

That would be great thanks, my printer seems to get crapper the smaller I try to print, it also doesnt define colours as well as it should.

The lights from the chest sticker on the back of the head are ingenious! Nice work.
And final proof that Skeletrons aren't Krakens!
