Stormtrooper/Sandtrooper CustoMego in the works

[LAST SON OF KRYPTON]

Hi All,
Just want to have a quick post of my Stormtrooper/Sandtrooper(just add the pauldron) head sculpt I did for my upcoming custom figure.
I still need to add the ribbing details on the neck and for the armor parts,blasters,comlink and other accessories will follow later.
I'll make a list of the parts I'm doing on my next post.




What do you think?

Thanks for Looking.

Very well done. Looking forward to the accessories.

Nice! Your sculpts are always so detailed and clean, they're just awesome. Can't wait to see the accessories. I'm sure someone has already asked at some point, but what kind of clay do you use?

Thank You Sir.
I use my own mix of semi wax polymer clay(tan color).I got the formula from a Korean and Taiwanese friends of mine who also blend their own clay.
This works for me specially to achieve a very detailed sculpt.
I also use super sculpey and super sculpey firm on some of my sculpts.
For me to achieve a clean look on the sculpts I do the following techniques.
1) After the surface are all smoothen out by a wooden or buffalo horn smoother tool,I gently rub a cloth (sheer fabric is the best to use) on the surface.
2)Then a quick brush on of lacquer thinner using a flat hair brush and let it dry,don't use synthetic hair brushes.The thinner will melt the synthetic hairs.Use 1/4" - 3/8" wide flat brush for mego scale sculpts.
You may also use a fine grit(grit #400) sandpaper on flat surfaces if you don't want to use the smoother tool.

1)Chest armor plate with the ribbed straps
2)Upper back armor
3)Belly armor plate
4)Lower back armor plate
5)shoulder armor cap
6)Biceps armor plate(front &back)
7)Forearms armor plates(front& back)
8)Belt with all details(front & back)
9)comlink
10) O2-Thermal detonator(will be attach to the back of belt)
11)cod piece
12) Buttocks armor plate
13)Upper leg armor plates (front & back)
14) Lower leg Shin Guards (front & back) and can be attach to a Hero boots.
15)Stormtrooper Blaster
16) Stormtrooper Blaster pistol (maybe)

For a Sandtrooper version;
