Looks a hell of a lot better. Nice work.
I like that much better. Loses that "Cat in the Hat" effect. [img]wink.gif[/img]

I think the tall portion works for that kind of hat.. With the way you made the top of his hat, I would say it'd look even better to have the rim around the hat bent like a western.
Like the curve to this one I found on a clothing site..

Been planning this since I first saw photos of him... someone on the white board did it already, and I had planned to do the same thing... chop out a middle section and reglue the top part back on. I tried, and it still looked too tall, so I kept it lopped off and just resculpted the top with green stuff.
I painted it black, still needs a drybrushing and some touch up, but I like this look way better than the tophat.

i really like that~
I still think he looks better with the tall hat.
But that just looks waaay to short...
Here's another angle to see...
(you can also see where he still needs touching up in this photo) I plan to repaint the whole thing one day...

AoD...yeah, but straw? Bah. I have a leather hat I got to curve like that, takes some doing, but its worth it. Its easy to do with a felt hat, just spritz it with water and start working the curve you want. Don't get it soaking wet, just damp.
Oh, uh...nice custom. I like it better. Or, since I honestly don't care for the figure to start with, I should say I dislike yours less. [img]wink.gif[/img]
It was just a pic, I don't much care for Straw either.. My own's Felt, I didn't have the money for a leather one at the time I got it.. Thanks for the tip with the water though, it'll make getting the bastard back into shape easier (someone decided to sit on it while it was on my bed. He almost lost a nut or a few fingers if he hadn't have tried to straighten it out)
nice job!
I do prefer the jumbo though.
