This is how I built the armature for Thor's winged helmet. The material is aluminum siding that is purchased at your local building supply store.

Here you can see the cut out for the wings that are attached to the helmet. I just realized I did not take images of how I applied the clay to the aluminum armature cut outs. sorry....

Here is the semi completed wing. It is not attached yet. I will attach it after I am happy with Thor's facial expression.

This is the body I will use for the Thor sculpture. The body was inspired by an image of Dennis Newman (body builder). The previous page has the image of the black and white I used. I believe the image came from one of the following bodybuilding magazines... Flex Magazine, Fitness magazine or Iron Man magazine in the early 90's.
