Hi guys and gals,
So last night I made my Hoover wax cast and was very pleased that I only had to make minor repairs to it. I only had to make one pass at pouring the wax into the mold. Which is great seeing that there were some undercuts that I missed and pieces of mold was stuck. I had to rip the silicon free from the cast and remove the pieces with pliers and tweesers. All and all a good run. I was able to get all the flashing removed last night, reposition one leg, filled in some air bubbles before stopping. I found some extra time last night to finish up two more heads for posting today. They are the second and third female Twi'lek heads. They were mostly done except I did not like the way the eyes and eyebrows were, so I touched them up. Here are the two ladies:
Notice that each of the three female twi'leks head tail are possitioned differently and there are no head bands or wrappings. I did this so that customizers could modify them to meet thier design needs. They are also based on concept design and game play footage of SW Galaxey and other games. The males are the same way. Well that's it for now, I hope you enjoy. I will continue to work on the details on the Hoover and might post two more heads tonight.
Until next time,
