Its already looking better than ILMs 3d version of Jabba.
I once made him out of snow...not so easy.

 

[Albertese]

Looking good! But aren't you supposed to bake this stuff? How good is foam for that?

[Wayne Bakken]

looks interesting. It will needs a little slave Leia.

 

[NemesisCustoms]

Thanks for your feedback!
Baking that stuff with the foam base will be a little bit of gambling /-:
I will try to increase the temperature in little steps

 

[Chicagovader]

Instead of baking him in an oven cook him in a big pot of boiling water it shouldn't damage the foam core.should also reduce cracking.

 

[NemesisCustoms]

I just finished the sculpting... only a few minor cracks that i have filled with some epoxy (-:

When the primer has cured i will hit him with the airbrush

 

[Snow Builder]

Nice work! I built a Sculpy Ziro the Hutt with a foam core. The core melted when I baked him (I also had some cracking). Love the textures you accomplished.

 

[NemesisCustoms]

Thank you snow builder! It was my first sculpting, the next one will be definetly with an other core material!
Learning by doing (-:

 

[Albertese]

I always use crumpled up aluminum foil as the core of my bigger polymer clay projects.

No matter what you used as your core; that is a great sculpt. It looks like you used the Illusive Maquette as your inspiration. the pose looks exactly like the one I have; but in a better size Can't wait to see more of the fantastic work you are doing.

 

[NemesisCustoms]

The first stage of the paintjob is finished. Next step will be some washes with oil colors

 

[Albertese]

Looking very nice!

[JediMichael]

Looks really good already, so more detail will make it perfect. You should make a little Salacious Crumb next to Jabba.

 

[NemesisCustoms]

Thank you guys!
I uploaded some final pictures in the start post

Nice work! this is may jabba.

Hey very nice work. I use Supersculpey for doing prop gun builds. Nice to see it used for the right thing. Well you doing a Jabba the Hutt, I thought I would show you a really big leather patch I made for a custom order. Most people don't know that Jabba has a tattoo or brand on his arm.
