The head is badly tilting to one side... deliberately. On the neck area, yet more detailing is present, the main central column being made from bass guitar strings. More spring wire protudes from the neck area as well. Getting the model to stand was initially difficult because if you've ever made the kit before, you'll know it's molded to have the right leg well in front of the left leg in order to stand. Well I wanted the legs to be side by side - this causes the upper cab section to be too top/frontal heavy so I had to re-work the left leg, cutting the molded pivot join and actually make it pivot.  This allowed me to position it lower down than the right leg allowing the model to stand properly - it looks totally natural. I was proud of this customized feature.
