One of the first projects I posted on RPF was my ESB Yoda sculpt. (I still use it as my profile avatar) Yoda is truly one of the most difficult Star Wars characters to capture successfully. A few uber-talented Artists and craftsmen on here have done some AMAZING renditions in sculpture and as puppets.
I myself, still have a desire to create a more accurate sculpt than my previous one.... So here goes, I hope you enjoy watching as I progress...
First thing, choosing a pose. I want this version, Yoda looking up...
Next, building my armature.... Just using 24" pipe, flange, insulation board, aluminum foil, and finally good ol duck tape! (the key to any project)
Now it's clay and sculpt time.
After 2 days at it, this is my roughed in Yoda :thumbsup... I'm very happy with this start!
