My own yoda i sculpted years ago, its not great, lol

[frosty]

Well with all the yoda love on here, i thought i'd throw my first attempt into the mix, now this was only the second or third thing i'd ever made, and at the time i was pleased with it, only had a couple of pictures and the video of empire to go on, and i hadn't learned to airbrush yet,

Now i know its pants compared to the others, but he had animatronic eyes and jaw, a camera in his stomach so i could operate him from a distance and interact with kids etc, and he attended various events over the years, he now resides in a club in Liverpool, up in the rafters.
Be kind, lol

Wow! That looks really good! Way better than I could ever pull off. :cool

Have you considered giving it another try Frosty? Just think of all the great things you've learned since then, and honestly it's a great first sculpt. So I bet you could improve vastly a second time around.

I did consider giving it another go, have to see what referance i can find, anythings better than what i had, i remember wearing out the video tape by pausing it all the time, lol
Theres been so many brilliant yoda's over the last few years, some in this section i think can't be beaten for accuracy, i'm not out to compete with anyone, if i do it, it'll at least be better than this one, it must be around 15 years since i first sculpted this, so i think i've learned a lot since then.
When i sculpted this it was just for the love of the character, i didn't have to worry so much about the accuracy of it, it was before the net when every detail is scrutinised, and at the end of the day it was just fun to create something, and have it come to life, and watch the look on the kids faces when he talked back to them, so i'm still proud of my crappy little yoda, just thought it was a bit of fun to make a thread on him

Well i may be doing a new sculpt of this after all, as well as a yoda in carbonite similar to this one i have, but lifesized, which will not be that big, just a bit of fun really

I could have sworn someone had done this allready, but couldn't find any pics, anyone remember seeing it done?

I know this is an old post, but has anyone actually made a kit of this. It's cool and I'd like to get one if they are available.

Old thread? Oh,...AWESOME DUDE!!!! Animatronic eyes and jaw + camera inside? This is cool, Frosty
