I really, really like what you did with 90% of this figure. As mentioned earlier, the helmet would be the 10% that I'm not wild about. However, it doesn't kill the custom's coolness, and I understand your difficulty in trying to find a suitable helmet for the character, because I've been planning something similar ever since that Thrawn figure came out, and...well, I'm still looking. I always thought it was a welding mask of some sort, too, and I considered using the one that comes with the Vintage Hoth Han Solo figure that's out right now, but it didn't look quite right once I got it in hand. Anyway, the rest of the figure looks very smooth, and I love the work you did on the chest. A beautiful custom.

Isn't there a half-decent Count Dooku head in the Star Wars line anywhere?
Somehow I'd think Christopher Lee playing the Baron would be just the bee's knees.
The head from
this figure is a pretty decent older Christopher Lee, and the one from
this Evolutions set and the re-release from those Target-exclusive Geonosis battle packs (which has better paint applications) would also work on a smaller body like the Thrawn figure has. But, if you want a younger Christopher Lee, check out the head on
this guy. That's a pretty good match for a mid-70's Lee.
