Custom Staff of Gandalf the Grey

1
Hi there - I am fairly new to posting here but I am a long time poster over at The RPF. I made one of these a while back, but wasnt too concerned with accuracy... because, well, I didnt e xp ect it to work lol. So, now knowing I have the ability to complete it, I started a new sculpt to make a nice, accurate replica. Here are pics of the completed crown, which will go into a mold this weekend. Then I will begin sculpting the shaft, probably in thirds. Then the four separately cast pieces will be attached together. Thats the plan, anyway ha ha.

Mmm!

If you guys hadn't guessed from those beautiful pics, this guy is a masterful sculptor. Did a bust of Christian Bale as Batman from The Dark Knight recently and it was absolutely amazing.

Can't wait to see more, Hecubus. It'll be fantastic to see an accurate non-NC version of this staff.

Update - I have a completed staff. I tried painting it like the NC one, but I couldnt get it Quite the same. After comparing it to BD screenshots, it appears to be much darker colors anyhow. It is resin from top to bottom - with a steel threaded rod cast into the center. Still trying to figure out the crystal.
