I cant believe it but its done!! The project I started nearly 4 and a half years ago is finished in my display cabinet and it feels great The concept was based on an image I had seen in my Spacebase 2000 book when I was a kid, I'd started out wanting to copy it but the project slowly morphed into something more original but with the same feel. Its basically as if our intrepid intergalactic explorer has stumbled across some intresting flora that turned out to be carnivorous fauna! Cue a speedy jet pack exit to escape its slimy tentacles. The base and body were sculpted in Super Sculpey Firm, and it was a real joy to create something from nothing. I'd urge anyone thinking about sculpture to give it a go, its been the most rewarding modelling experience I've had and when I look at where it started and the first attempt (which was frankly abysmal!) I cant believe it got to where it did. Anyway here are the final pics, I took one with a mug in it too so you get an idea of the size, its roughly 35cm from the bottom of the base to the top of the helmet.
