ANH Busts: Luke, Leia, Han, Obi Wan & Moff Tarkin

[Eden.S]

Hi Everyone,
I'd like to share some pictures of a series 1/5 scale busts I've been working on to add to my portfolio! The original Star Wars movie has been a source of inspiration to me for many years now, so I thought I would finally put some time into sculpting likenesses of each of the main human cast. No droids or Wookies planned yet, though I'm beginning to think Chewie might have to be added to the list! I've been sculpting professionally since around 2004, so I felt ready for the challenge to sculpt what are considered to be some of the toughest character likenesses to capture!
These pieces are all sculpted in Medium Chavant NSP. I've been using this clay for years now because it's fast in getting forms together and holds plenty of fine detail!
I'll share a few progress pics of each character, along with some shots of the finished and painted busts. Enjoy the pics!
Here's Luke.....

Those are fantastic. Likenesses rival or beat many official products out there (including Hot Toys). Great job!

Hot Toys, eat your heart out. Their Leia is nice but the other three are so-so to who the heck is that? These are all great. They have a Trevor Grove quality to them (that's a compliment). Well done!

Having seen and commented on these on other forums I just can't help myself from shouting a big AWESOME here too. The speed and quality of the likeness is just phenomenal.

Thanks a lot for all the positive comments guys, it means a lot! Obi Wan is close to being finished and I've taken a few shots I'm really happy with so I thought I'd share them.
This bust has been tough to get right, but a lot of fun to sculpt!

Wow, these are all incredible! I would love to see these down in a bronzed finish too, I think they'd look spectacular like that.

most impressive work.
