Thinking this is a weekend project (famous last words). Doing a sculpt of the Staff of Ra headpiece. I’m decent with clay, but wouldn’t call myself an expert, so there’s going to be a lot of unintentional variance from the screen used prop.

You're off to a great start!
Done for the day. One side complete.
It's looking great. What kind of clay are you using?

Given it's meant to be about 3000 years old, a slightly looser/rougher appearance actually works well in-universe.
Looking good

I’m using Super Sculpy Firm. It takes longer to condition, really easy to work with.
I’ve got side two done started, it’s going a little faster the second time around.
It looks really good. Are you going to bake it and make a mold? Or are you going to bake it and paint it as is? My experience is that Sculpey tends to be fragile after baking. It's very easy to chip, dent or scratch it. I usually make a mold just because a resin cast is much less fragile.
That’s been my experience too. I need to extend the bottom and add a little thickness to the tail, then it’ll get a final bake.
I’ll do a two piece mold. Hoping to get the first half done today.
Mold came out great, ready for the first pour.
Not bad. Minimal flash. Need to do some washes and dry brush.
Thanks! I'm glad you like the build. Interested to see how yours progresses.
A short build video I put together:
And a few pics of the finished piece.
That came out AWESOME!!! Really great, especially for a hand sculpture in Sculpey!! Very impressive!!

Thanks for sharing the video! I am filming my build also but I am a terrible YouTuber and very few people watch my videos.
