well i started this last summer, and after a kick in the arse by dallas this weekend, i resumed Commander Cody. basicly i used EVO3's build as a rough guide. i have done a few things different so far. i think andy's cody is the best ones hands down, i just hope mine looks half as good as his.

here is roughly where he stood before,

Image
i split the lid apart, kinda like what EVO3 did, and removing height from the lid.

Image
you can see i cut through the ears to create the oval look we see in the film. i did this at this stage rather than later.

then i glued him back together, and split the helmet and stretched it out.
