Thank you!

I want to scratch build one. When I thought of a concept I will post it here and also ask you, whether the sketches are approximately the size of the original ...

General concept: Wood and metal for the skeleton, filled up with aluminium wrap, covered by some epoxy stuff for cars and then details modeled on with GS/Fimo, whatever.

i hope to post details of the concept soon!

The cardboard stuff is just to ask for the right size. Please check it out Thank you!

Yeah, because of that it is now just 23 cm high. Plates and Tuping will make it 25 inches high!

Next steps: Fill the body with foamboard(?) and cover it with some modelling clay, I still do not know which one.

The core of the legs will be formed out of thick wire (about 4 mm). I am not sure how to fill them up so they'll get some more volume.

Of course I'll keep you informed about the progress.

I strongly recommend Apoxiesculpt!
It's insanely durable, and will take excellent details if you keep your tools well lubricated.

I made a couple sculptures for my wife out of Apoxiesculpt over an aluminum foil core, and I could practically drive nails with them.

This is cool! I ordered stuff hopefully like this. 1200 g for 33 Euro including shipping costs. I hope it will serve as good as yours. It is said that it is not so good for high details but it should be very good for most of the hierophant.
