Luke Skywalker head

[Cosmicman]

I finished my Luke Skywalker head sculpture that will be occupying one of these Mego bodies soon.
I'm going for the Luke Skywalker Jedi look from "Return of the Jedi". I hope I nailed the look. I had been tweaking that head for weeks.

What sculpting material do you work in WrathD? Is that Sculpty or something else?

Cheap and easy Sculpty.

Well, if you're going for the Jedi Luke...here's a good reference Pic:

Thanks for the idea!!! As I looked at that picture then looked at that head I realized that if I'm going to aim for a certain look from a certain movie that I was way off base. I'll have better pictures later on as I rework the head a bit.

Thank you "The Bat" for the head idea. I forgot he had the hair sprayed part in that style in Jedi.
That's what I get for jumping the gun and trying to make a hybrid Luke from a few Google pictures.

Sand paper will fix that and a nice resculpt.

No prob...just trying to help.

Looks good! Can't wait to see the finished head (then the actual figure)!

It looks very good - but it looks more like a star wars new hope luke head

I have never given advice here before- so if something is not coming out the way please know. I'm only trying to help by putting these pictures here not compare the 2.

if you need a ref I attached pictures of my 2 lukes here ( i did not make these heads i think I got them form austin or russ when he was still around I never finished my jedi yet he is still in the works)


in sw marks hair was very light (like on yours)




by the time they did jedi his hair was much darker.


some of his facial features changed as well because of an accident he was in.
the pic "the bat" put up is a good ref. picture for you to use.

If you like I can take a few pictures of the 12" kenner jedi figures I have and 1 side show and - inbox them to you.

just say the word if you need them

Can't wait to see yours finished - must be great knowing how to sculpt
you have some serious skills.

Thank you. Every little bit helps. I have been sanding down the head a bit and plan to do a repaint. I'll have newer pictures whenever I finish the custom.

There was a 12 inch Han Solo at a junk store (missing all of his parts) I was tempted to take the head and try and shrink it. I wonder if anyone on here had found away to do that and make a cast of it? That head is what I need to complete Han Solo.

yes austin does it

yes austin does it

Pooh. Would be nice to own one but I'm pretty sure I'm not one of his favorite people on here. (long story). So, maybe I'll try shrinking that Han Solo head down.

Wrath, I think the Luke head you made is pretty good, but it doesn't look enough like Luke to me. My suggestions are to smooth the hair a bit (give his hair a better defined part too), round his chin a bit more (and add the dimple) and it will look much more like Mark Hammill did in the role. I think you're on the right track.

Oh, I agree with you one-hundred percent my friend. I have since redone his hair and fixed up his face. Sand paper and sculpty can be a person's best friend when he is looking to fix up a sculpture he created and it didn't turn out right.
Right now the head is sanded down and in need of paint. I would take a picture but I'll wait until it actually starts to look like Luke Skywalker instead of Professor Penis.

For Han Solo this is the head I came up with.
