:D - please post some pictures of Mr Solo. If you are going to get into modeling faces a mould would be a good idea. Thats what I used for the World of Warcraft cake. Everything else was by hand, but after the mermaid I needed something that didn't take me an age to make, screw up, make, screw up. I just needed to get that bit out of the way. The mould I have even has ears, they are fab.

LOL That's hilarious! Well, I was thinking since it's a girl, then big lips are in!

11,000 miles....wow. I think you should move to Oklahoma and partner up with me! LOL I understand the lip proportion comment-I had the exact same issue with my Han Solo. He ended up looking like a man with big lips!

Thanks Melodie. I hand sculpted her face, but I never seem to get the proportions right. Her lips were so huge, she looked awful before the hair went on. This one was fun, especially as she had an 11,000 mile journey in front of her. Can't believe she made it the whole way from UK - NZ without so much as a crack. If you'd like any tips I'd be happy to share :)

This is amazing! I just had to sculpt a Han Solo for a carbonite cake....much harder to sculpt a person than imagined. Your mermaid looks fantastic; you are very skilled!
