I just feel sorry for whatever all those nuts and bolts used to be holding together. 
Imagine the time that went into that, Bill Bigsby was probably still on prime time when he started.

that is insanely impressive, getting the smooth curves like that! I'd love to get a glimps of what the technique was for keeping the shape so perfect!

All I can say, is, "That's nuts."
Look closely, and that's all it is... nuts.

How would you go about making something like that?
The only way I can figure is to start with a full size wire frame, or some kind of structure that's close to the finished shape.
Then I would tack weld the nuts together in various sized sheets, so there's flexibility in those sheets...almost like a sheet of paper or a piece of fabric. The sheets would need to be able to be pressed into various shapes and curves.
Then I would take those sheets and fit them onto my frame piece by piece, pressing them into the contours and cutting away or adding pieces where they were needed....tack sections together so they can come apart later as larger pieces.
That would work for a majority of it. The rest would have to be fit in as needed. If the outer layer of nuts was done in halves or sections, those could be pulled away to take out the wire frame or whatever was used as a form, and then all the sections welded back together.
Just guessin'!

Steve and I think alike... that is nuts. Very talented sculpture there!
I weld stainless, stainless and more stainless...Food Industry, sanitary process piping, vessels, whatever is needed, I like to make stuff.

The easiest method would be to make a reverse mold and then layout the components to be tack welded.
- You would start by making the initial shape from clay and a sub-frame structure.
- When you have the shape that you are looking for, you would then make a mold of that shape.
- Remove the mold and then layout the metal components inside the mold and tack them together.
- this would give you a great starting point and all of those nuts would lay as flat as possible.
- after the initial metal structure is formed, you can add the special effects. (hair, clothing and skin texture.)
