To scale for my game table. I posted about it here.
I needed to have space for the wiring, so I made an internal structure out of a paint lid and a dog food bowl --
I'm going to build the body around this. The head (when it is done) will fit on top. I may mold it as a separate piece to facilitate the wiring. We'll see...
Here's the body so far. I decided to build it from the arms up; mostly neglecting the legs. I may use a tealight for the cauldron once I get there. We'll see how it turns out.

| Front (incomplete) |

| Back (mostly complete). There's a tube that keeps a hole open, in case I want to make any wiring external. Now that I think about the size of the interior, that's probably not necessary. :) |
More to come!

Holy!... Wow! Never thought of making this idol before now. What a great, fun project! So many ways to make it: Sculpey, air-drying clay, papier mache', etc... Really looking forward to watching this come to fruition. Thanks for sharing, especially on DM Scotty's forum, or I would not have seen this fantastic project. Cheers!
Pretty cool.
You suggest using a "tealight"; I'm not sure if you mean an actual candle or one of those little battery-operated votives as used in many churches nowadays. They have a cool flickering effect that would do nicely, and of course solve any problem with venting the candle flame.
Nice start! I have thought about making a few idols myself, but I need the idle time...
