Waiting in anticipation Ralph anic:anic::impatient:

Alright Mr. Ecko, since you've been so patient! Here's one more pic before Friday:


Removed quite a bit of excess material, still getting all of the peachfuzz off of the surface (where all of the skin detail is). Ignore the perspective warp btw, the pic is taken with a terrible cellphone camera and it's tough to take a picture of a small object with it without it distorting somewhat.

More Friday!

How strange... looking forward to seeing the final product :duff

I am curious how it will look after priming. From what i see now it looks like a real trash unfortunately. I mean the printed head of course. The 3d sculpt itself was really good.

I'll reserve judgement until there is a primered photo. Its really hard to see details, or lack of details, when the cast is 1. semi-translucent 2. White.

and 3 fully covered in supporting materials... what we're seeing is a bunch of stuff surrounding the actual sculpt underneath. That's why it's impossible to tell what it actually looks like.

Hey guys!

Here's a little update:


Sorry for the low quality picture

Still cleaning excess material off. Got most of the large chunks and most of the peach fuzz.There's still some fine surface grit on there, especially in all of the creases/wrinkles and on the actual mandibles.

An ultrasound bath will get rid of that I also sprayed a thin layer of primer on there so you guys can get a better look at what we're dealing with. Btw, the inner lower teeth were pretty damaged due to excessive support material, so I will have to manually resculpt those once the cleanup is complete.

There's an ugly mother___er under there somewhere

The printer we have on campus uses APL which is a plastic as opposed to a resin, so cleaning the excess material is a little bit more of a nuisance than first expected.

More soon!

Thanks man! Here's a pic of the HS next to the HT classic (for scale purposes). Again, beware the crappy flash pic.


My friend is coming over this weekend and he has a pro camera, so hopefully we'll get some better shots
