I made a foam model to scale of the submarine. This helped me to see how the head would move. It was also important to see how much head to have with out getting in the way of this important movement.
It was very important to make sure that what I sculpted on top of was sturdy. I built up an armature of wire, paper, mud rock. I covered the mud rock in lacquer to make sure it didn't absorb moisture from the sculpy.
In retrospect I wish I had used clay. It would have been allot faster. I also found that as Mark was sculpting the body and I was sculpting the head the two were very different styles, and thus we decided to keep this head as a marquette and let Mark sculpt the head again.
