hammerhead bust, pics!

[rileyreplicas]

Hello again I wanted to show pics of my latest hammerhead bust. I have made a few before but this I feel is the most accurate one I have made so far. I want to give a HUGE thank you to Tom (Wampa) for the great ref. pics and all the input in getting the overall head tweaked to the correct shape By the way this sucker is big. He is about 24 inches long from front to back.

He looks like Spongebob Squarepants pet snail Gary without his shell.

AWESOME BTW, one of these days I want to put a Hammerhead costume together.

Oh my GOD. After Duros that is my favorite of the SW aliens... You did a SWEEEEET job...

Cool alien but kinda gross sitting there on the floor like that.

Beautiful job. (as always) :thumbsup

Richard - you know how I feel about this sculpt, love it man. I've always thought this was one of the best looking Cantina aliens.

Awesome. I've seen some Hammerheads in the past and this is the best I've seen. You've really captured a lifelike quality in the wrinkles and skin. Is it wearable? A Hammerhead outfit would be killer and I'd be interested. Can you show a photo of it next to you to show its scale?

Agreed.

For the curious... this one ended up with me

It's my first official Riley piece and I'm sure not my last. It's even better in person.

Thanks Wampa. I am glad that you were patient enough for me to get it made for you. :lol

As for a costume of this figure I have made full size statues before but I have never tried making it as a costume. I am guessing you could wear the head like a hat maybe, I could hollow out the bottom and then just put it on. lol I am thinking having the scarf around his neck loose enough so that the person wearing it could see out maybe? This would be a very fun costume

Absolutely stunning. :thumbsup
