I've been working really hard lately on plans for my statue since all of my fans seem to want to see it so much.
Here's some of the things I have done so far.

I'll update the post as soon as I finish more. Also I was originally against hacking the mats in but after reviewing the material cost...well, look below and you'll see why I'm reconsidering.
Total Material cost so far
Cloth: 1240
Obsidian: 1717
Gathering all of those is possible...but it'd take many, many hours and mean less video's in the long run.
Also, I've been putting a ton of work into this, I've had to redo the body 2-3 times already because it didn't fit right.
