my action figure - part 2

I've been working on this action figure in my spare time for a few months now.  Based on the original concept sketches I started sculpting the figure out of Sculpy III.  I got the base form as far as I could and then boiled it.  I  made a resin cast of the hardened Sculpy buck.   In my opinion the resin figure is more forgiving than the Sculpy.  From here I can sand the figure down and use Bondo to get the finish to the point where I can make a final mold.

my action figure - part 1

Not to long after I started grad school I attended a portfolio workshop.  One of the topics they we discussed was the idea of a leave behind; a small 'something' that you literally leave behind whenever you go to an interview like a mini portfolio.  It can really be anything but regardless it should be unique.  I started thinking about what I could do and I decided that the coolest thing I could possibly create was an action figure of myself.  That would be so amazing!

I kept the idea on the back burner of my mind for a while and have finally decided to go through with it.
