great sculpt, it does kinda look like Ron Pearlman, heh. I would say I think the nose needs to be a little bigger. Looks great! :thumbsup

Re: Chewbacca ROTS (work in progress)
The end of latch hooking the suit is nigh!!!! Need to add a little more brown mix to cover up some of the grey around the waist area, reckon another 4 to 5 hours should do it.
The arms have taken a lot longer because I am latching every second loop for the most part or even every loop in some areas. The hair will need some trimming and thinning out because of this.

I swear that is the best looking Chewie suit yet. It just looks authentic.

How is the head coming? The rest of the suit looks fantastic. Very nicely done, sir.

Just about ready for moulding, still have a bit of latch hooking to do before I turn my attention to the mask.

I'm useless at Chewie sounds, think I'll need to use my RomFX.

Waiting on the head, Dougie. The face is the one thing very very very few people get right. After all of that fantastic work on the bodysuit, I have high hopes the head turns out as good as the suit.

Have just moulded the actual face today in jesmonite and removed it from the sculpt with minimal damage. Going to do a trial latex cast to clean out the mould and to use it for sizing up the underskull details.
The next step will be to work backwards in making the underskull, will post pics when I have something worth showing.

Well so far on just the trousers and shirt alone it's in excess of 60+ hours, that doesn't include the brushing, trimming and styling that will have to be done!
As for the mask, I have being toying around with that for months, trying to figure out the best way to make the eye sockets allow maximum visibilty whilst fitting the majority of people, also the jaw to be articulated in such a way that the mask would fit anyone.
I'm still back and forth on whether to except commissions or just churn out a few and put them up on the Bay. I definitely want to make more but whether I want to take on the pressure of a commission or just work at my own pace is yet to be decided!
It's very difficult to say at this point the costs, I want them to be reasonable without being excessive but I don't want to sell myself short either, I won't know for sure until I finish my own.
Also as far as I'm concerned it will all be in vain if the mask doesn't look right, but I'm extremely happy with the results so far, in fact I'm thrilled!!
Will post pics when I have the first proper casting done.
