Good monumental pose! Looks seriously. Нow I understand, the surface will be ground then?

Nick,
it's just a base for photographing, for a figure I like to see it on a little square.
In the end it could be fun to have a little plate casted, measuring this square on which the figure fits.

Ok, I see, René.
I meant a surface of the figure. You prefer to grind a figure after molding or smooth it in operating time?

NickS.

ow haha , ok.

this is very rudimental, raw at the moment.
I just sort out the lining of the figure first, not even worrying about detail.
I had my girl photographed in this pose today with a broom in her hand and will check somethings before I start smoothening anything.

I do not grind figures, I polish by brushing but love to work with terpentine for smoothening sections.

a friend in need is a friend indeed

think this is better.

I too like such method too. Details - in the last turn.
And I use as the tool stomatologic silicone shaper. It very soft also allows to smooth a surface in operating time.

NickS.

I noticed you do great things with magic sculpt Nickolay. I prefer the thermoclay and its endless operatingtime.

Thanks, René!
So I tried to work with thermoclay, but after all found the best for me - epoxy materials, such as "Magic" or "Moment Epoxilin" and Tamiya "Epoxy Putty".
By the way, sometimes I use "Johnson's Baby" oil for smoothening.

Nicks...

OMG! Sorry!...

...

Sorry for what?

I casually placed here the progress with my John Glesby ...
Well, the mistake is already corrected...

Nicks.

Crosstopics!
