as u wish
do what u want .
but i think the shoulderpads are the very important part for varian . if u make it by urself , ur modeling skill will get better and better . in my opinion , u should have more patients . i had seen u joined the modeling contest 25# . u had so many starting WIPs ... but sadly u haven't go on with any others' . u wasted time on chosing base models .
remember that a starting will be dull and dry . but if u always give up on it . u will never learn more skills . after all , a good modeler needs more practices and more experiences .
wish u could think about this , good luck !
