Please Delete thread. This bust is a work in progress I should have just waited to post until finished product is complete. Thanks

You couldn't have just updated one of the 27 previous threads?

Thanks for the Negative comment and no this is new and different but thanks.

Oh I've got more...

That bust seems off, too. It looks great, but it doesn't instantly scream, "Jim Henson's TMNT 1 Raph" to me at all.

Thats cool I appreciate honest opinions and the bust will have further tweaking revisions and look different when completed. What portions look off to you?

[Jester]

I think the jaw is too long...but it's never easy to say what's off. I just know it doesn't look accurate.

Hmmm hard to say exactly I do know his upper lip stuck out further then the lower in the film is that what you meen?

this is probably the best likness I've seen to date, but I agree its a hair off, considering the level your going through for "exact match", heres my input:

If I remember correctly, he was wider in the face left to right, he looks a bit stretched vertically to be completely accurate.

It's an impressive sculpt in general, but it doesn't look anything like Raph to me.

[Powder]

Has somewhat of a Henson feel for sure, but not Raph. Honestly, it looks like whoever sculpted it referenced all four turtles rather than our red-wearing bad boy, as I can see elements of each turtle in it. The mouth area/size is like Don, the eyes are Leos, the expression is Raphs, and the head shape is Mikes. Anybody else see that? Also, I agree with Jesters first post. Plus, maybe you'd be better off in the toy/collectible section.

I can kind of see what your saying except his head shape is nothing like Mikeys, Mikeys head is much smaller looking and his cheeks are not as wide. Some tweaking will be done for sure thanks everyone who commented.

I agree the cheeks could be a hair wider but not much but I think the length front to back is spot on to the movie. Thanks for your input on this I will see what Howard thinks :-)

Looks more like Leo to me. Nice sculpt though!

Howard posted pics at the replicapropforum http://www.thereplicapropforum.com/f62/cowabunga-144298/. The pics are much larger then what I posted so easier to see plus 1 extra pic.
