The Original RC Helmet Sculpt

Nothing new on the RC helmet sculpt coz I didn't get a chance to work on it today. My son has been home sick from school with a chest cold. So, I thought I'd post my first attempt on the RC helmet sculpt with a resin AOTC clone helmet as base with the fin sanded off. As you can see it doesn't look anything close to an RC at all! Lol!

RC Sculpt Update





Here is an update on the RC helmet sculpt. I added some detail to the brow of the helmet above the visor, worked on the ears a little and added some detail to the back as well.

After I get most of the main features sculpted in, I will eventually smooth the surfaces and sharpen the lines and corners. Then I will add the finer details into the sculpt.

My latest project


Ever since I started making custom 12" clone figures, I have been asked numerous times if I can make a 12" Republic Commando figure. So, I am happy to say that I am in progress of making sculpts for a 12" Republic Commando figure. A couple of months ago, I sculpted an RC helmet out of clay on an AOTC clone helmet base (fin filed off) but it didn't work out. So, I started to sculpt a new 1/6 scale RC helmet from a solid piece of clay. I used scaled down pics of an RC in 1/6 scale and cut them out so I can used them as templates to get the proper shape and sizing for the clay model. I also used a 3.75" RC figure to refer to its dimensions. 

My 12" Custom Clones

By profession, I worked in the IT field, but after my second child was born, I became a full time dad. Since I am a die-hard Star Wars fan and I have all this free time now, I became interested in making custom 12" clone figures.
