Buck Rogers robot "Twiki" custom design thread

I know this is always a dilemma. It is a delicate decision how many times you subdivide the faces to get a pleasing result. The smooth curves of the Turbobike come to my mind; I think I'll need to make two, one simple one and one more smoothed out one. I would keep both for those who want to build a smaller version or who want to speed up the build process. Anyway, this is my humble effort of making a head for a Twiki figure:

Twiki from Buck Rogers - Lego-style!
That would be great, Sporak! If you do, please take a picture and post it here! And welcome to the forum! :-)

Had to take a little time out to handle some other projects, well work and moving, but hopefully I'll be back on Twiki soon to finish up and publish the design.
I am glad to see that you are still proceeding with this project.
With that being said, I wholeheartedly understand that real-life issues than precedence. I hope that all is going well.

Thanks. It's really all good, but moving, even if it's a few blocks away, takes a lot out of you. I've been in my new home about a week, and I just found my computer monitors in a box labeled "Snacks" 
And work never stops, just gets busy for a few months, then settles down for the summer a little.

After I got back from California, My Dell laptop crapped out, so I'm back on my old HP All-In-One... But I ordered the 16G upgrade for it from Crucial. I hate moving...
Damn straight! I hope I never have to again. I did buy some silver poster board. I'd like to make Twiki again once I find my scissors
I wholeheartedly understand the mixed emotions of moving (especially when you are moving internationally). With that being said, I wish you and your family all of the very best with your new home. I hope that al works out well for you!
Lol, funny you should ask. I just started back on it about three days ago. I decided to go with the horizontal edges instead of the peeled petal style for his head. I put some nail hole filler on the edges and am sanding it down smooth.
This could step in for my old little Mego version which I seem to have misplaced - great work on this loveable bot
Indeed! I'm looking forward to seeing the updates. This model screams for a silver spray finish.
Or lately I acquired a laser engraver/cutter. I could send a precut paper version.
The Thingiverse file looks GREAT!!!
If (and when) I get a 3-D printer, I may try my hand at it.
Precut paper templates would be nice!

Oh, my word you're a temptress beyond the stars! Taat would be a yes on both counts - more details please, message if need be
