Thank you! It means alot :-)
Yeah i like to put in an expression suited to the character, it makes for a more interesting and fun to sculpt. I based the sculpt on the film Unforgiven but i left out the cuts and scaring as i figured they could be done later with a scalple.

Im thinking of making it into a kit at some point but ive no idea how to go about sculpting 1:6 scale guns.

I decided to take the hat off, it was troublesome trying to sculpt with it on and also taking photos because of the shadows but if i make it into a kit the hat can be added.

Looks very good, especially at that scale... Can't imagine it was an easy task to capture Clint at that size :)

What clay?

Congrats!

Beautiful likeness there, dude. Might just cast and sell the head. There are alot of 1/6th scale guns on evilbay (Ebay). I found a .44 Magnum (most powerful handgun in the world) for a future project. But I had to scratch-build a Buntline Special for my 1/5th scale Wyatt Earp.

I didnt realise it but its how its been working with me too, i just thought id finished the sculpt every time. Lol
I read a sculptor on here set up a camera and monitor to work from while they sculpt, which now i undrstand it, it isnt a bad idea!

The lens never lie :) Even looking through a camera view finder (yes they still exist!) will net you some nice findings ;)
