I decided to build Hei Hei before there was any mention of Moana 2. I already built few macaws from Disney Enchanted Tiki Room and baby Kevin from Up using fur and real feathers and I thought, I need new challenge. I loved Hei Hei from first sight while watching the first Moana movie so he became my next project. I sculpted him digitally on my tablet during my holiday far from my desk because I can’t just do nothing and relax for few weeks. I started buying necessary feathers but as always, some other commissions took priority and the chicken landed in folder with unfinished projects for few years. The news about Moana 2 made me think about it again. I was also trying to kickstart my Youtube channel so it was the perfect project to ride the wave of refreshed popularity of this character. Here is few minutes footage of my build, I hope you will like it!
Unfortunately the video was not picked up by Youtube and it landed somewhere in dark corner of their servers, with my ambitions to become youtuber. There were many projects I would like to share with my slowly growing audience, but bills have to be paid and with no sign it is possible any time soon, I found real job and had less time for building models.
