Hello peeps,
It's a new year and a new decade so i better get a new droid head done, it's a re deux of one i had done many years ago but a completely new sculpt.
i have sufficient new reference to realistically get pretty close to the real one in my opinion. i won't do another 8-d-8 ,this is it.
i would like to thank Lee S for graciously supplying me with the correct track links (mouth parts) from which i can take/make accurate measurements from. I can also use
the photomultiplier grills which are on the side which a have many.
Here are his humble beginnings..........stay tuned
i want to get this as square as possible, i used a sandwich of sculpting foam in the interior with 2mm plastic card on the external surfaces, i want to use thick plastic card this time as the last sculpt tended to warp, i'll get the general shape at the rear and top first to get the proportions and angles then work on the face, getting the face right is the no.1 priority, the other parts are easy ish so they can wait. side plates and grills will be last.
i also want to include the neck piece too.
anyway here is the real droid below and my effort below that---- W.I.P.
Any question please ask
and
lazors baby!
