Sculpting Maquette

For the materials I used for my maquette I used ..

Which is an polymer cly, which drys hide ,when placed into an oven.It is almost like using clay, but without as much mess and doesn't airdry , so can be shaped over several weeks and months.It is most commonly used as a craft form, for ornaments and entertaining children. But also can be used in the modeling and creative industrys such as this predator sculpt.

 

I am going to be using metal dentist to create my sculpts.I will use a metal wire to attach to the base of the sculpt,such as a hairspray cap.

I am also going to use a polystyrene shape as the base which wil be cut in half to create the basic shape and the model to sculpted over the top,vaseline is also used to stop the tools sticking to the polymer.
