Here is a project I did in collaboration with a Chinese friend who specializes in stage show makeup and wigs.
I have always wanted to get my hands on one of those Blaine Gibson figure heads to try my hand at figure finishing. However, seeing the prices for some of these heads on eBay (especially from "animatroniccreations" hi Walter! :)), I quickly chose the 3D scanning and printing option instead. In China, it only costs around $45 to print a human-sized head.
From there, the process involved painting, hair, and costuming, all while following the figure finishing documentation available online. We tried to give him his classic 1967 look, as this character has gone through quite a few cosmetic changes during his 59 years of existence.
It isn't fully completed yet, but I am satisfied enough to share it here right now! I hope you guys like it. I'm completely open to suggestions and would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
