Leigh, This is gonna be good.~Gary

Leigh,

It looks good. I don't suppose you have some close-ups of the head? I would like to see how you carved the facial planes.

Good start,Leigh Looking forward to seeing it all come together ! Cheers.

Thanks guys, I hope to be able to actually do this one in a reasonable time frame.

John, here is a close up of the head, I think the facial planes are somewhere near right as is the size, any errors I can correct when I build up the features.
The size of the head is 13.75mm high from chin to top which = 220mm, 8.75mm wide across the cheek bones which = 140mm and 12mm deep from brow to back which = 200mm.

Thanks for that closeup. That's a great reference. I've come to learn that the underlying "bone structure" will make the laying on of the "flesh" much easier. I really like seeing others' process. This is the kind of thing that keeps me coming to pF.

I know you've done some 54's is this your first 120?

Thanks for posting some close-ups Looking great so far.

Thanks Jason

John, yes first time for a 120mm
