That must be really funny to see yourself. We thought that the likeness was there, even at that stage - in wax photographed under yellow lights, but the test was whether you'd recognise yourself! Mind you, we have a line up of about 6 different versions, each progressively better, ironing out the mistakes along the way. Will post a pic when the final one is in position!
Since that one, the latest Brad has the proper spitfire goggles with the split lenses.
It's all R&D and I couldn't recoup costs in time but what we've learnt in the process is invaluable and been a heck of a lot of fun along the way. I've just been playing with a Pappy Boyington face and did the first rough cut tonight and it's amazingly recognizable for starters. The idea is to eventually be able to do the faces fairly quickly.
I've also started making sculpted clothing and accessories in ZBrush so they can be cut and moulded.
It'll be great to see the final one painted, hopefully not too long now.
cheers
