Dang Gordy! Looking super as usual.

How long does it take for you to sculpt the average 54mm head, effective sculpting time?

 

[gordy]

thanks ,
in total probably 1.5 -2 hours.. minus the baking, trip to the garage for a smoke, day job, work on pF, etc...

 

[btavis]

Gordy, when did you start sculpting?

 

[gordy]

about six years ago for first full fig... around '95 started with minor conversions...

[gordy]

thanks fellas

Ken, I won't have the pleasure of doing any hair as these are part of a *ahem* set...

 

[gordy]

fattened up the earlobes..

some crows feet next to the eyes...

some forrowing on the brow (the expression is of squinting in the distance)..

added some teeth.. and bulked up the levator labii superioris to emphasize the squint..
