As I mentioned in the UFO thread, I decided to work on this during January's UFO week as I don't have any other UFOs to do now.

Anyway, I've just finished it, rigging and all. I was surprised how quickly I got it done. Here's a picture of the whole finished picture -

And a close up of some of the rigging -
