WIP: Original Figure Sculpt Part 3

Been while since my last update.  Been busy!

But here is progress so far.  I've decided to sell this as a garage kit at Designercon in November!

Making the Boots:

Here is also a way to align a pin on two parts without doing any sort of drilling through.  You mark off on the outside 4 lines around the piece so you can draw the line over the cut.  The resulting 'X'  will give you a matching point to drill on each side.













































Here is a Step by step on her vest.







Work on her hands







Cut offs!



Next is work on her hair. 






Decided to change the pose of her left hand to make it a little more dynamic.  Here is the refinement process:









Almost done!

WIP: Original Figure Sculpt Part 2


So here is some more progress

on the sculpting:

Refining the forms...  Also gave her some leg extensions:































Roughing out forms of her shirt...


























I plan to cast this in resin so to facilitate painting I need to cut her into pieces (yikes!). After cutting her in half, I cut out a hole in one side and on the opposite side I glued a piece of plastic to act as a peg.  I then filled the hole with some miliput and smushed the two halves together.  The final result is a nice positive and negative connection!





















Cleaned up her neck...


















Cut off her legs and went through the same process as her torso....



















Things are starting to come together and I'm beginning to think this might actually work!

WIP: Original Figure Sculpt

Just started this new project to sculpt a figure of my own!

Based on this sketch I did:

























Here is the beginning armature with some miliput on it:


























I built it up with a little more miliput and then throw some La Doll clay over it.  The gun is a 1/6 scale colt Python which I think game from a hot toys Rick from the walking dead:





















This is my first time sculpting anything and I don't actually know what I'm doing.... !

Misato on Mini Honda Monkey!

Got around to taking some better pics of my Misato garage kit.  A thanks goes to my friend Linn for letting me use her lightbox thing.
