I was hoping you would get back working on this, long time without and update. Can't wait to see where she goes next....

Hey, where can I pick up a copy of this miniture? I would like to try my hand at this SBS. Thanks

Darko, before Gary started selling his waxes, he gave his recipies freely at the Clubhouse. Here are some of them so you can give a hand a mixing your own..... The numbers are percent of mixture. "Just wanted to make sure that everyone got all the recipes..here's the other post in text...

Hey Darko, looking for wax, go with WillowProduts. http://willowproducts.com/ He makes a whole line of waxes for sculpting. Some of his waxes are sculptable when warm, just like sculpey... Most are pourable into molds. Look at his catalogue.

I have a tendency to break up styrofoam and use that, the worse thing you can do is use pepples, it looks so fake.... Another alternative, if you have never seen them before it to use a Hirst Mold. I own several of them and love them..... http://www.hirstarts.com/molds/moldsfield.html

Great figure, digging the extras... Boots and manhole cover make it for me...

I agree, the figure is great, but the wolf needs some work. Thought he was a shepherd with a sheep at first.

Hey Jeff, do you know where you can still buy these? That link is not a store......

May I suggest you get Katherine Dewey's book. It is excellent and has helped me greatly. She will guide you step by step thru this problem. She also is more than willing to answer any questions you have if you hang out on the Shifflet Bros forum...

Who is Mr. Bill?

Sorry I was not clear about that. The molds are done in two parts. I make one side, spray the master with WD40 press it into the Aves (smiliar to Magic Sculpt) push in a few key holes with the end of a paint brush and let that cure. I then pop out the master, so to make sure it is not stuck...

I use Aves all the time for making two part molds, I would not wait too long for it to set up, the softer the better to smush into crevices. WD40 makes a great mold release and will keep everythign from sticking.

Glen, I found this on answer.com Glass does not typically "break" at any temperature. If you want to be technical, the melting point of glass is 2600-2900 °F. Now, another important and relevant fact is that when things are hot, they grow very slightly larger due to their molecular...

BTW, I make alot of push molds out of sculpey and use sculpey in the push molds. I use wd40 as the release or cornstarch when I can find the can of wd40....

Most sculpey users use Vaseline as an adherent or glue for adding more scupley to already cured sculpey. The Shifftlet Brothers preach this method.... I use it myself. I would not suggest using it as a release agent. I too work with tiles from Home Depot, slips right off after baking...

Long time ago, I saw a graphic on here that showed the different scales side by side. Does anyone have that? Thanks Tor

Sorry to semi highjack the thread, but that bust is cool. Are they anymore pictures of it?

Smeagol, a good thing when you are starting out is to learn about "2 part push molds" just google that.... Make a push mold of the head you want to use, you can use sculpey for your push molds. Make a copy of a head you want to use, then sculpt over that.... You can't and shouldn't use push...

Funny, I even posted on the sculpt. Great job on both the painting and the sculpting job... It was the padded gambeson that I really liked on the sculpt.....

Nice paint job... Who sculpted that? I remeber seeing the WIP on that sculpt and would like to find it again. Thanks.
