Hahaha… great job! :+1:

Those last two shots of the giant head driving along are hilarious.

That’s great Jim!

Excellent work, Jim!

FRIGGN AWESOME. Great work dude.:+1: :+1:

…head work! :+1:

Haha excellent!

Oh come on!

Not only sculpting, but now your dumping out larger than life toys!!???!!!

I see no end in sight, it’s just such a terrible shame…

Oh what a wonderful play facility you guys enjoy on a daily basis.

I am getting so envious I may have to do something drastic, hhmmmmm I know… :wink:

great work.

thats some ego boast to have a giant version of your head carted around america.

ha ha great work Jim.
I saw the model you print, for the gnomon workshop tutorial
Character Modelling for Production.
The level of details are amazing.

This thing is scary, big, and very cool all at the same time. It must be a trip to see your work printed so large!

Wow! Very cool work! - NickZ.

Wow that was cool! Quite surreal to see that thing on the road. Roxanne…

Thats awesome! Eddie is one of my all time favourite stand up comedians.
Great likeness. And a monstrous size! Imagine eddie taking a bite out of the stay pufft marshmallow guy. haha.

Incredible likeness :+1:

Absolutely amazing!!! The likeness is top notch. But i’m speechless with the whole process. It’s things like that that makes a man’s work worthy.
Thanks a ton for sharing this awesome making of.

All the best
