While trying to make sense of my work space I found a pack of "Sculpey" modelling clay and broke it open and look what emerged.  ork 003 by parkadge, on Flickr  ork 006 by parkadge, on Flickr  ork2 016 by parkadge, on Flickr  ork2 017 by parkadge, on Flickr  ork2 015 by parkadge, on Flickr Sculpey is a good medium to work with- it's very waxy and remains soft till hardened in a conventional oven at a low temp for 10 mins. I got my pack from RPM sculpture supplies in Ballymount- they also have a shop in Dublin city centre (located downstairs)Babydoll Boutique 3 Crow Street, Templebar . When I'm satisfied with the final sculpt I'm going to try making a mould and casting a few of these in resin so I'll be looking for advice on that

Absolutely brilliant.
I wonder would anyone be able to make a mould out of it and cast it in resin? We can start some cash flow into IPMS pocket, other than membership fees, by selling this and similar products. I have some others in mind too.
Committee, anyone?

Fantastic work, you could give Games Workshop sculptors a run for their money. FiSe wrote:Absolutely brilliant.

thanks for the comments guys- I guess those 4 years of art college weren't wasted- I must have been sober and awake some of that time :) Quote:I hope you might consider a paint job for next years IMSS show?? that's the plan Roy

Outstanding sculpting skills! You should be working for Wingnut on the new Hobbit movie (can't wait for that!!)
Well done!

Okay I used some real copper and Steel sheet for the armour- not 100% happy with it- it doesn't look real  - have to find some good patinas to treat it with. The spikes are from Milliput I just put a green wash on the figure to see how it looked-that's not the finished paint job :)  044 by parkadge, on Flickr

Pat,
I congratulate you on this one, personally I would find looking at "him" a bit off-putting!
Wonder how you plan to paint the eyes?
