Hi Batfans , Say here's a clay sketch of Adam Wests cowl , Just starting to get the shape worked out, got alot of build up still .
Whats the correct shape for the sideburns and back of the helmet?

Some update pics , It's a little fuller now and I'm looking to refine the shape .
Iv'e added to the length of the back , filled in the sides and reworked the cheeks. Do'es it look like the cap should be taller ?

Anyone have a good shot of a raw shell ?

Sweet are you just doing the shell? I've always wanted one of these cowls but they cost 600.00 and up and there is now way I could ever swing that! I'll be watching this one!:thumbsup

If anyone wants to chime in and check the sculpt please do ,
What do you think of the overall shape ? Is the nose is to thin? where is there work needed . Looks I'll have to reshape the top .
Thanks for looking ;)
 
R u just making the shell or are making the completed cowl? I would like to get a shell if you offer them! I have a pattern someplace of the material for the cowl if you want, I can get it to you when I find it.:thumbsup
 
Will the shell be thinner that what the clay looks like? Whatever I'm going to want one! Keep it going!:thumbsup
 
I agree on the eye I'll take care of that tonight , As far as the casting goes the shell should be about 1/8 thick when done.
 
I made a few adjustments buy reshaping the top , making the back flatter , sloping the forehead some nose work ,sideburns and the Eyes ( which I just caught being a little uneven ).
I redid the eyes by doing a re sized cutout of Marks cowl picture and then placing the eye shape on the clay and tracing onto the sculpt , seamed to work .
Anyway here's the pics

Query: Were the 'sideburns' that long on the original?
I have ALWAYS wanted a Batman:TOS cowl! I am up to get one if you are doing a run.
