UK based Master Chief clay sculpt

[Sevv]

Some more pictures, weve started on the hand plate and helmet sculpt. We did a head cast over the Easter weekend, as we arnt doing a prosthetic only a rough cast is needed... so we once again used plaster bandages. Ive got a big head and I really want a good fit, we needed to know my jaw line, the fat part of the scalp etc so this seemed the best method.

Weekend update. Lots more done on the helmet, we are really happy with how its looking. Cant wait to try it on. We are aiming to have it finished by the last weekend of May

Looking awesome. You might make the visor a little thicker. Not saying it doesn't look freaking awesome, because it does. Just trying to help a little.

Cheers MjolnirArmor, crits, comments and help is always welcome! We are still tweaking every part of it constantly looking at the reference. We will be putting in our plastic card visor later this week... should help us refine the shape better.

This is what i like to see far more of... Old school sculpting.

Update, bigish ... the helmet is 'feature complete' now, we are looking at about a week and a halfs worth of polish before... we hope, ready for moulding.

Its got a great sense of bulk and weight in person I think, balanced too. Looking forward to getting it moulded! We will be adding smaller details into this with plastic card before we mould.

 

[Fetts.Sobriquet]

That is nice! Looks great!

Unfortunatly a pretty major set back last week with the helmet. Friday morning we realised... in a calm and graceful manner I can assure you, definatly no swearing.... that large chunks of the helmet were wrong

This ment largish reworks of the sculpt, which has put us back in our schedule... very annoying. Im very annoyed with myself I could let it happen, we just went in one direction and didnt notice the overall shape falling away from us.

So back to today, after a lot of reworking we are probably back to last Thursday now... so a day off and a weekend behind. Still, its much more accurate now. Sorry for the pics but photos taken at night even in a light kitchen never turn out well. More soon.

Whether you can tell the difference from these photos I dont know

 

[MisriahArmory]

Actually there's still something wrong, in the middle.

Should be recessed.

Looks great though!

 

[Chinosan]

Great job! I wish you best of luck with the other pieces. LoL How much clay have you used so far?

 

[STEALTH]

would also be cool to leave it the way it is and make it his own.

 

[Sevv]

Thanks for the image MisriahArmory, damn you but thank you Ill add that in tonight! Shouldnt take long.

As for how much clay weve used, ive got a list somewhere. We are reusing as much as we can, thats part of the reason we are going the legs first, helmet then torso.

More pics soon.
