No, not really but I don't feel like pulling this thread down with all that. I posted in the OT section.

May have some time during next week to start working on perfecting the casts, so they can be shipped back for master molding soon. We are probably looking at around 2-5 months before we have something ready.

Something new. The work in progress ANH face mask and the ESB dome.

Have also been working on how to fix the chest armor and have worked on the shins as well. Nothing worth showing on that yet.

A little more progress. ESB dome is nearly done, so are the ANH and ESB face masks, working on the shins and fitting them to the figure, armor comes later. Some more filling and filing and sanding and shaping required. These will likely be ready before September and sent back for molding for production.

I'm loving this. Like I said on Facebook recently when I mistook this project as a full size lid these look amazing. (Yes that was me)

Cool.

I've been working a little on the ESB face mask... pretty difficult when the pressed rib makes it difficult to move and breathe... so will do more tomorrow.

Anyway, I thought it was time to show this. Just got it today and have already sent it, as well as a few other 3D models, off to be printed for the second batch of the project. It was resculpted with permission by Sean Dabbs from a scan of a Prowse sculpt.

Enjoy.

I always liked this pose, so thought it could be a nice variation to attempt with the statue.

Got the new body prints and they are much better sized. It's interesting to note that just making them a tad bit smaller, the volumetric look to the body is that much more proportioned with what you'd expect for a sixth scale character, even of someone the size of Prowse, who was muscular, but nowhere near the competition bodybuilder look or like Schwarzenegger.

Test fitted the chest armor and it looks great on the torso - just like it looked great when pairing the two with the digital models at that scale. It really does make all the difference.

Now I need to do a lot of filing and sanding to get the body to resemble Prowse perfectly, as though it was made from his measurements, the MakeHuman software wasn't able to do the Prowse-specific musculature and shapes, but created a general body, which I could then work on further. But... the fact that the armor fits just makes me happy. Now I can finish the chest armor, prime it lightly and then figure out how to preserve the accurate shape I have manipulated it into - due to the limitations of my scanning effort - for when it is molded, so that all casts will have the accurate shape.

Onwards we go for perfection.

Some pictures. Please note that the armor is still a work in progress.
