Not to toot my own horn, but I designed the head. It is a massive 3D print which has a balljoint and splits in half with 'shelves' inside so he could add the light. The visor was a semi-transparent 3D print. Again, during that same visit the head had just arrived from Shapeways and we got to see how well it turned out. At that point it hadn't been painted.
Any way that is the ONLY 3d printed part, the rest is all handsculpted from wood, foam, plastic etc.
@ Funkmasterke I think that is one from "Cheem the Rup" but I might be mistaken.

Awesome is an understatement, it's the over-the-top size of this project that is just hilariously mind-blowing and the overall result is frickin' amazing beyond belief! Like really, at first glance when you're just scrolling through pictures, it's like "yeah, that's pretty good work". Then you see the recent 18" Optimus Prime getting absolutely dwarfed and it makes you do a double take and go "Dafuq did I just see?!", lol. Great contribution with your work on the head, Echo. This is a beautiful achievement of a project.
