Ideas for My First Sculpture

[Cbl12886]

I went ahead and finished that problem. It will probably be another week before I post any progress because the magic sculp still needs to come in with my Colorado Miniatures order. I received a coupon in the mail today for a 50% off coupon for any regular priced item from Michaels. Anyone know what I could get besides an airbrush which I don’t need.

Blake,

Consider using Aluminum Anentana Guide Wire. You can find it very cheapat Radio Shack. It is basically the same wire that is sould in Art and Craft Stores for Sculpting Armatures, but at 1/2 the price. It is about 1/8 diameter. from large sacle ( 1/12-1/4) I simple twist two pieces togehter for the liimbs and it holds perfectly.

I also used to use simple wrie coat hangers- work great and good strenth for large figures.

Justa thought

I just need to go back to Michaels. I looked on there website and they have 24 gauge wire in the bead section. I’m not sure if this will be as sturdy as the hanger but it will be a lot easier to bend.

Edit: BTW I talked to Gray at Colorado Miniatures and he said my package will go out on Monday so I should have my Magic Sculp, Pegaso figure, and some paint by the end of the week. I decided to get 16oz of Magic Sculp because it was only $4 more than 8oz.
