Trying to get a handle on this clay sculpting thing

Here's my first mess around bits with clay. need to get a pasta machine to start cranking out some flat pieces.

still another smoothing/clean up run and re-detail to go i think. maybe more.

apologies for the photography. just used the camera phone with no extra lights in a 10 second scratch made booth. (Using a postage box that Griffin sent me)

That's pretty neat work!

That's pretty neat work!

Cheers. Long way to go but it's very calming

That is a really interesting approach to custom heads. I like what I see and I think you have a skill well worth developing.

Another shot. CW Voyager class Optimus head.

the only issue is that it would only be a display head as it won't survive transformation. Maybe if I used a shrinking silicone for a mold and resin it may fit.

And cheers for the positive comments

That is reeeally looking good. Your symmetry and neatness is impressive! :cool:

the second set of pics are vastly improved! very clean and angular, I like it a lot.
