I wanted to jump into this project for a while, but always somthing else came up. But I've got week of out of town so take few kilos of clay my trusty tools and dive into it!
After one week of work it looks quite good, Overall shape is more or less correct. Those melted parts are really tricky to replicate, but my little blowtorch is very handy and it gives fantasticly melted surface, it's not 1:1 accurate but it looks very convinsing.
For now I will make little break from this bad boy I will try to not look at it at all for few day. Maybe after then I will see more things to improve and resculpt,
My biggest consern right now is: How to make a mold of this, definitly brush on silicon. But theres so many little details and jutting things. I'm affraid it might break when I will pull casting out of mold.

Nice job so far! Only few have ever tackled this and made it look spot on! This looks promising... Subscribed!

The overall look is good...but I would add more details before you mold it.A mold for a big piece like this is not cheap...so be safe that you only copy the best possible version of your work.;)
