Damn Carl, you need to make a sculpting TUT on how you get such sharp straight lines. Very nicely done.

Nice work Carl!
Holy crap--yes I did! Your work on that is stellar, my friend. Definitely a "leg up"!

Carl, thanks for the updates. Lokking great. By the way, once you mold that and cast it do you end up doing all your sanding and touch ups then remolding it? I think I saw you do that to the shoulder piece. The outcome is awesome but i have to say the process would make me want to hurt someone.

Very detail so cool man!
The reason I haven't been in communication with some of you is because I have totally immersed myself in sculpting this thing.
I have focused on getting it done and nothing else--so here are the fruits of my labor so far. The main body of the backpack is finally done! The only thing left to do is construct the sub structure and sculpt the louvered medkit cover that will sit on top. I'm thinking magnets to secure the cover to the body. The medkit will be suspended from the underside of the cover with a molded in bracket of some kind.
Some of the greeblies were modeled in my computer and output on the Fused Deposition Modeling machine I have at work. It was the only way to accurately duplicate the ones on Wang's original backpack. Speaking of which, I did deviate very slightly from the one he did for Cinamaquette that people have seen photos of recently. While enormously helpful, even Mr. Wang deviated a little from his 1987 original backpack. For instance, the bottom of the original had more of a steeper slant than his Cinemaquette redo. I went more by screen caps and existing photos of his original backpack, (scroll down) as well as the venerable Billiken figure that a lot of people use for reference. I hope I've done Steve's work justice....the hardest thing I've sculpted yet!
The next time I update this thread the sculpt will be finished. Enjoy....
