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.

Thanks dude! Much appreciated!!
Awesome! Yeah if they are already out there i might as well just cast and sell the head, as soon as i meet the requirements on here of course. I'll need to check the requirments again.

Thanks Tim! I will do, hopfully i'll get better too
I think better photos will be a great improvent too, he has stubble but the camera hasnt picked it up. Hopefully i'll have better quality ones this weekend

Ive learnt so much since seeing all the tallent here at the Clubhouse and picking up tips.

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
