Oh, that's damn pretty work. For a second there I read it as the baby got the old garage... not the old art studio... LOL.

Congrats on the little one too.

She's been dismembered to start the molding process.

But beautiful, beautiful work!

Just watched Avatar on Blu-Ray tonight. Amazing movie, and your sculpt looks great, too.

Wow I just caught this thread. Awesome work Russ!

I may have missed it on a previous page but what are you using to sculpt her chaps? Is that apoxie sculpt?

Yes it is apoxie sculpt. Most of her is. I started with a simple wire frame and built that up with bondo. Scraped that to the general shape and then laid the apoxie sculpt on that. If you look at all the pics you can see all the changes I made, I just sanded down and started over. I made her out of this material cause I'd knew I'd be handeling the sculpt alot. The head however was sculpted from clay cause I didn't want to be rushed. Apoxie sculpt has about an hour of good working time. I then made a quick prototype mold and cast a head to put on.

Nice beyond words! Really can't wait to see more and more..
I'm mostly interested in Terminator stuff, however I'd love to get some Avatar representing piece, and this looks just incredible!

That really looks neat. I just watched that on cable....missed the theatrical 3D experience.

Thanks for posting pictures as you progress

Mold making progress. In this pic are the legs being molded. It's slow going cause I've had a very busy schedule this month. The wind is a little out of my sails cause of the release of the liscensed statue, which is very nice. Hopefully mine is different enough with her wearring her chaps and actual hair and feather accessories, not plastic.

Yeah, the timing is a bit.... "off", considering that SS released licensed (and very nice piece), however, I'm still excited to see how will yours turn out, and can't wait to see more!
Just keep it up Amazing work!

I was unimpressed with the SS statue. I've been excited about this one from the start.

It's my favorite pose of hers from the film.

Coming along nicely. Can't wait to see it finished! :thumbsup

Hey thanks. That boosts me back up. I realy like the pose I chose, it shows grace and strenght. Plus she has her chaps on which I like.

Agreed, when the saw the pictures of the licensed one I thought: "eh, I've seen better on RPF." Can't wait to see your finished version!

Thanks you guys, can't help the timing. One of my best friends went ahead and pre-ordered his SS statue....I was like ..Awww mann....can't you wait to see how mine turns out.
I'll be finishing the leg mold this week, and all that's left from that is to add some detail to the rock base and mold it. I really need to get this done cause I'm going to be busy, busy when my son(#2) is born in October. Hope to have something to offer by that time.
