Now... My scuplting skills leave alot to be desired... matter of fact this is the first time I've attempted to scuplt a human figure out of Sculpey clay... but here it is. Basically I started out with a couple of paperclips bended in the size I and position I wanted. Then I wrapped the entire thing in a thin beading wire to hold the pose and allow the Sculpey something to hold onto. The first time I did this (upper left corner pic) so I ended up pulling off all the clay and stating over again. This is my second attempt. Notice I didn't make the hands yet... why? Because I'll be putting hte hands on the model itself, and will save those for the last things to make when the model is completed to a point where the figures will be glued in place and won't be moving. You can see the hoverboard on Marty's right foot. I'm still not quite happy with this figure, I think he may be too big, may end up scraping him and starting over again. I tried to make sure that the hoverboard would at least be in scale with this figure. I didn't like how the face came out either. But I think it will look much better when I paint it. Also note, I made sure to make a Sports Almanac in the coat pocket.! (Couldn't resist)
