Ive had my mind on this for a long time now and seeing 2storyprops make this too i knew i had to follow in there footsteps. My goal is to get this done by june 7 thats when my local comic con starts and id like to debut it there. But enough chit chat lets get started.
I first started off with an 14" acrylic globe and cut out the neck hole. Then i sanded the inside so that i can fiberglass it it will stick to the globe
While i let that cure i started on the ears. I cut them out of pink insulation foam board (2 pieces per ear) and i carved out a cavity for the threaded rods that were to be in between them. Then i glued the 2 pieces together with some left over smooth cast 65d
Then i started sculpting the ears swiss cheese cavities.
I primed the dome and i ended up rotocasting smooth cast 320 in the inside to make it even more rigid.
Next i cut out the mouth and made a template for the lip. Then i cut the lip out of mdf gluing in place using bondo and spot putty to blend it in
A quick assembly
Once the ears were done sculpted a coated them in some more smooth cast. Giving it about 3-4 coated
For the eyes im using ornament globes. I did a quick assembly to see how it all look but then i noticed that some measurements were off. So i pulled out my reference pictures and remeasured everything. The eyes were suppose to be tilted back just a little. I swear this has got to be the most precise dj head out there!
This is all about 16 hours of work and its all coming along good and fast. Be back with an update
