A Fixture
Greetings,
here,s a start on a project that will be fairly involved.It not only has a violin but also a weapon slung from the shoulder of our bust.
Whats needed here is to call on the model railroad guys locally who know who to see about castings particularly lost wax .The bow of the violin will be cast in brass/bronze because of its fragility and thiness.The image shows the fret where the bow is set for casting.
The Violin also took its time ,made from a 2.5 thick ali flat bar cut and filed to shape.A laminate of plasticard to create the lip or edge of the body.A layer of magicsculp to give the contour needed for top and bottom.The spiral has been carved but still needs finishing and a couple of the other pieces to add too.
The instrument will need more work before the hands and bust can be sculpted.The violin will need to be fixed at the shoulder before working on the hands begin.Why a Violinist you say,well my youngest daughter learns this instrument so its an ideal topic in a way.
comments welcome
