Aarrggh... close to... death. My internet connection borked when I was trying to upload with half an hour left to go. Anyway all up now.
It's been great fun to do. I never knew it but apparently i fuckin love grasshoppers. So thanks to them for being awesome little outerspace men, and thanks to everyone who stopped by on this thread, and everyone who entered, the high standard of entries pushed me to try and get a finish on a piece I might've otherwise got bored on after the initial sculpt and paint.
Hooray for finishing! And sleeping!
