Excellent work, looking forward to the next steps.
I have read a few guys here mention using polymer clay, I assume it's Premo or the like. I've used Sculpey with my sons, never thought of trying it for serious pieces, but obviously judging by your work, it's a great medium. What's the advantage of it over ApoxieSculpt or the other two-part types?

When I started sculpting 10 years ago I worked with polymer.My only concern at that time was the fact that my masters got damaged during the moulding process.That's why I changed to epoxie mediums.Sculpting with these is tricky, because of the limited working time.There you have the major advantage of polymer over epoxie.No stress, you can work on a piece as long as you want, untill you bake it.
I just recently switched back to polymer(Creall-therm) for its softness(at least when you mix certain colors) .Probably to soft for most sculptors, but I like it a lot.Blends very easely and you can work very fast with it.

Gotcha, thanks.
I guess it's the best of both worlds, you have the ability to revisit like you would using Plastilene but can end it's pliability in the oven.
I'm working in 1/35 right now and although the work sessions are very limited with epoxies, followed by a wait, I think the ability to carve is important for the fine details.

This is a wonderful piece, and one of my favourite movie monsters.
You've captured him perfectly - even my wife could tell what it was!

Hi Jiver,
very impressive as always, you work from photos to make so many accurate details like these?

Progress on the left mandible.The polymer I use is soft enough to add more detail, even after baking the piece.Any imperfections can be sofented out with steel wool at the end.
Since I don't want to go for total movie accuracy, I only use reference for the basic forms and inspiration.It's much more fun to give it your personal touch.
Cheers,

Hi,
Progress on our hansome friend.
I removed the face from the board and put it on a stand.It was than fully shaped on the back.Now I'm in the process of forming the outer ring where his hear(?) is attached.While most of the sculptors here go for harder mediums, I prefer my material(polymer in this case) to be very soft.

Hi Jiver,
Very nice indeed on this intergalactic hunter. I love your interpretation on this and am looking forward to your progress. I have painted several versions of the Predator, and each one is slightly different in some way. Will this be a one off or are you casting copies for sale?
