How do you start from scratch and sculpt a mego head?

[bobws]

Ok my nephew wants to make his own character and wants to know how to start to make a head? what materials to use, how long for them to set and what to carve or sculpt with. i need idiot's guide 101 here. for me to understand as well, not necessarily for him. so please you great customizers out there, share to wisdom you've gained. Thank you.

the tutorial will only let me save file. i can't on the work computer. so i need another way to get info.

Once you have opened the file you could print it I guess

Go back to customego, hit f5 to refresh the page and try that tutorial again. I've just altered it to appear as a webpage instead of a downloadable file, so you should be able to open it on your computer now instead of just downloading it.

Wow , I tried to check out the tutorial before starting my Evil Ernie head , But I couldn't open it for the life of me , I have been going back and forth on my evil ernie constantly haing to go back and forth fixing one thing while messing up another part I never thought to bake it and do it in steps but I guess I taught myself the hard way ....... I am posting updated pics of the head in my other post ......... Check it out . Roy

Oh and Thanks Dave and bobws ....... Roy

I use wax as a medium. Tools are what ever you feel comfy with. Toothpics exacto blades plastic food utensils. Good for starters and cheap. Later, if you get into it. you can hit up the craft store and buy the pro tools
