It\'s all a question of motivation, and Sanjay is in luck to have it
.hehe
so it has GS under to hold the joints of armature with a bit of apoxysculpt but it\'s all supersculpey.
it\'s done now, but gotta smoothen it, then add the crease for mouth, the hole for air hole, and the eyes (hard part)...then bake it..and sand it a bit and any areas that are too flat for instance, will just add apoxysculpt to fill it out.
the rod sticking from stomach will be gone as it will be suspended via tail on a showcase base, with realistic water all around it (ie. to make it appear it is jumping out of water). the rod is held in via a tube of apoxysculpt but apoxysculpt can bebroken easily if its thin so after baking, i will remove rod, break the apoxy, and then fill in hole with more.
well, i like my engine (kinda! hehe) and this is a gift, so they both are fun (just painful..espec the dino!!!).
Oh..my next 2 sculpting projects will be even more painful and may try a 3rd...hehe

*gives Klute a hug*
Next, I want to sculpt a 12 to 14 inch tall Tarrasque (since a mini has never been made for it), and Borys, based on Brom\'s artwork of Borys, the D&D Darksun Dragon of Tyr.
Also, for a dear friends bday in june (same bday as me actually..the 19th), I wanted to see if I could sculpt a bust of her..chest up...but I doubt I am good enuff to do that, but I may try.

i put down the basic basket shape, then a log along the top. Then i put down the vertical parts of the wicker. Then after that hardens, i do the weave. i start by rolling out the GS into a long, thin roll and cut off the length i need to jump one vertical piece and tuck it into the vertical pieces on either side of that one. Work from the bottom up and stagger every other one. It\'s VERY easy to loose your focus and ruin the whole thing though, so just take your time.
Hope that makes sence?

Ok, so i baked it. But , and I knew this already, it wasn\'t totally smooth, so after baking I sanded it. And now, all the areas that you can see are a bit deeper, I\'m putting apoxysculpt on it and rubbing over it really fast, to make it try and become flush with the higher areas of sculpey.
Did a bit of sanding this morning and it\'s going well so I believe this method will work. If all goes well, priming tomorrow night (or wednesday).
I cut the main support armature wire for Borys. Not that long as I will make it larger with smaller sized aluminum wire.
Painting the Dolphin I will try and finish this week sometime so that I can get back to painting my dragon and other minis.
