Hallo gents,

After a break wich lasted a couple of months, my batteries are recharged to start sculpting again.The major project this year will be the creation of a lifesize predator figure.A client asked me to do a fullsize version of his cinemaquette Predator.Not an easy task, I realize that, but for me the ultimate job.It 'll take me a year for sure, but the client knows that and it's not even an issue.So there's no time stress and it even allows me to do something else in between, now and again.
This is the progress so far: A foam basic structure, sealed with resin.And the result of pushing polymer clay for about 6 hours.
The progress can also be followed here: http://www.8th-collectible.be/predator_lifesize.htm

Danke. Der kopf ist jetzt ungefähr 56 cm hoch und 33 cm breit.

Current work in progress: Adaption of symmetrie and finishing

Close ups:

I picked up this project again. Not my fault, my client let me do something else first.
Anyway, there's no way I'm gonna rush this. I follow the initial idea to make the most detailed Predator ever...in Belgium.
I took some more close-ups while I'm working on it (not easy). The baking is set for next week.
Thx for looking.

Cheers,
Jiver

wow, good luck on this megaproject.

A good day today. I pulled the first casting of the head and it came out great. Some minor problems wich I had expected, like a few holes coming out closed because the mould has an airpocket there. It's just a matter of drilling them back out. The cast itself has...zero airpockets. This casting was ment to clean up the mould befor I pull the new master out. It will serve to continue the bust and later the full figure. I also have to finish the mandibles. This first casting will be made for hanging on a wall. Omg, a giant Horror Head.

Wow, looks amazing
