Wow fantastic job man!!!

Just a few critics if you don't mind. While the Hicks looks spot on, I think the skin appears way to bright/translucent. Also the eyebrows appear way to thin as if he has none (could be the lighting in the image?)

Bill Paxton: I don't remember him being that chubby or "old" looking in Aliens. And looking at recent pictures of Bill he does not appear that chubby or appear to have as many blemishes as your sculpt appears too.

Arnold is dead on, that one is perfect. I can't wait to see the final of that.
 
Thanks guys!

Hey Steve, I've seen these at the clubhouse. Amazing... Did you sell on of the Arnie casts of on eBay? I saw it awhile ago.

Hi, good to see you here. I really should post more over at the clubhouse but I'm pretty rubbish at dividing my time! I've sold a couple through ebay, got one on there right now :D

They're all very fair comments. I've been told off by the professionals before now about not putting enough pigment in the mix and Hicks was my first attempt at silicone casting. Hudson had more pigment but still not quite enough. And there probably aren't quite enough hairs in the eyebrows - my first time at that too.

And it took me a while to realise it myself but you're right about Hudson. Unfortunately I didn't have very good quality reference and the best stuff I could find was when he was older. I think the chubbyness you're seeing is a result of my not bringing down the details enough, its all a little bit exaggerated. But the perameters are correct so hes not literally any fatter than he was in Aliens. I'm glad I realised alot of this stuff before I went on to finish Arnie because theres not alot that I'd change on him if I had a do over. Always learning though!

Do you have a website with other works?

No website at the moment. Definitely on the to do list - but its a big list!
