Hercule Poirot head sculpt W.I.P

[tombaker369]

Hello all, I'm new to this forum....well technically, I've been reading it and looking at the many many impressive peices of customisation and thought I'd like to show some of the things I get up to
I'm more of a sculptor (technically no even that, I'm only 17) who ever so often dresses a body to go with a sculpt, I mainly dabble in Doctor Who related sculpts/customs, I do also some other genre based customs, like for example my last full custom was a 12" Worzel Gummidge as played by Jon Pertwee....not sure if many here would have heard of him lol
a picture to stir memories.

Anyway, as you can no doubt tell from the title of this post my latest project is a 1/6th scale custom, hopefully a full one, of Agatha Christie's super-sleuth, Hercule Poirot as played by the definitive Poirot, Mr David Suchet. As you can see roughly halfway through sculpting atm lol
I'm basing this sculpt on the most recent appearance of Poirot, a much older look, not sure why but it really appeals to me more than his younger years.

heres a few pictures of my past endeavours

Peter Davison as the 5th Doctor

a little update now on Poirot
the basic sculpting's done and I'm starting to refine the final details before baking, like for example the ears, hence their rather crumminess heheh

 

[Staggerly]

I say! Once you whip those ears into shape, it's gonna be an incredible likeness!

 

[tombaker369]

hello all
Poirot is finally finished, well the sculpting part is anyway, now the costume, should good fun, I'm also considering to make a hat, hmmmm

as you can see there's a few little details (e.g the eyelashes could be a bit more "solid" as it were) to be refined, but all in all I'm very pleased with the old thing.
Now, the ears, I've never been entirely good nor convincing in the ear department, I guess I'm afraid I'll mishapen the head as I sculpt them lol, oh well, if my dislike to them gets to the point of being able to look at this sculpt I shall remove them and resculpt them, so I suppose this sculpt isn't what the "end result" might definately look like lol
thanks for watching this space (I would do a smiley but I used all my image allowances for one message lol)

Very nice. I think a hat would go well with him. I always picture Poirot with a hat.

 

[tombaker369]

Then Poirot, he shall have the hat

thanks

 

[Mr Barlow]

Very Cool !!

Definately do a hat for the lil Belgian
