So this guy has been on my list for a wee while now, so i thought I'd fit him in, in between jobs...u gotta go with the flow
There are very few actual reference pix of the screen used head and the sideshow model and others always give him fly eyes, which is not accurate.
Here is the best screen shot I found;
What I think they've done is used a vac-formed egg shape and filled it with broken glass to get the inner translucent effect and then painted a gold pattern over the top. So that's what I did...
First I printed the head in 2 pieces
I modelled and printed the breather/face hardware separately and turned the metalwork on a lathe
I also put some lights inside to illuminate the eyes just for ****s and giggles, even though I don't think they did in ESB
I will be doing the rest of him at some point, although he mostly has Threepio's body
