Han looks pretty good too. Look forward to seeing the paint up. Are you moulding these?
 
Re: ANH Bust Project:Luke, Leia and Han.

Looks very good... Luke has a few things wrong... eyes are to big and the face looks a bit to long or narrow... Liea is incredible... Han shows a lot of promise...

Nice to see an effects dude take on this kind of work now n again and welcome to the RPF ;)

Killer work. Really nailing the likeness. Really capturing the heart of these characters.
 
Re: ANH Bust Project:Luke, Leia and Han.

-Thanks Bogleo, Glad you like the busts!
-Thanks for the comments Cyberman, and the welcome!
-Thanks Alaneye and no I'm not molding these myself.
-Cheers Nick, That has been the main goal of this project.....to be getting the heart of these characters across in the sculptures is what it's all about!
Harrison Ford was an extremely tough likeness to capture accurately but...........here's Han!

Re: ANH Bust Project:Luke, Leia and Han.

I have heard that Harrison Ford is one of the most difficult likenesses to get... I think all of your work here is fantastic. You are indeed a quick sculptor. and accurate. I felt the same about Luke's eyes but it is still a fantastic likeness. better than I could achieve, I think. As well as you did on Han, though... :)
 
Re: ANH Bust Project:Luke, Leia and Han.

Thanks for the kind words Chickenhaunt and also snaze 1 and Brent M!
Thank you also for the compliments Cadeus! Believe me there was a lot of sculpting and resculpting to get the Harrison Ford likeness as accurate as this. Like a lot of people, I've been familiar with these characters since I first saw the original movie way back when, and that has helped a lot in creating these sculpts.
I may revisit the Luke sculpture one day and address the eye size, but until then....they are what they are, and I've still got 2 characters to go in this series ( 3 more if I consider adding a Wookie to the list).
Here is another shot of Han that I would like to share! Also posted a scale reference pic so you all can see exactly how big this bust is compared to a small bottle of model paint. Stay tuned......Obi Wan is next !!

Re: ANH Bust Project:Luke, Leia and Han.

Fantastic work; you really captured the feel of the '70s with these busts!
 
Re: ANH Bust Project:Luke, Leia and Han.

Happy New Year everyone, and thanks for the kind comments joberg, Noahconner, Too Much Garlic and Jok3r0314!
Alec Guinness is proving to be another tough likeness to capture. Here's the progress so far...

Re: ANH Bust Project:Luke, Leia, Han & Obi Wan

These are just so damn cool, I can't get over it. Great picture with the Tamiya paint too; really shows off the actual size. It's hard to fathom the detail you've captured, at that scale. Excellent!
 
Re: ANH Bust Project:Luke, Leia, Han & Obi Wan

Thanks Guys! Old Ben is really starting to get somewhere now and progress has been solid. For a while it was difficult to work out exactly how his jawline and chin would resolve under that beard, and winging it wasn't working. So I found some photos and footage of him clean shaven which cleared a few things up! Here are the latest pics.......
