Re: ISIS costume help please
Mystique! What type of clay are you using? Awesome job so far!
I'm using Chevant soft clay.. it's easy to work with but a pain to smooth down..in which I use denatured alcohol and a stiff brush to smooth it out as much as I can before casting
Very cool. Since this is the Internet, I can admit publicly that I used to watch the tv show and loved it...
Funny.. so have I.. LOL!!
Demaris....you asked for HELP with this??? For the love of Pete, that's BEAUTIFUL sculpting work!!! Very, very clean and well done. I can't wait to see your finished pieces. :thumbsup

Yes.. I did.. I just needed my friend Christine to point me in the right direction.. I had no idea how to go about making templates and such. I do have a fine arts background.. drawing and painting.
I've sculpted before.. well, my Seven of Nine eye and ear borg implants I did on my own:
I sell them now on eBay
Good luck on your project. Would the belt be too stiff? You do not need to sculpt to your body or a form so that the resin cast sits nicely on you?
The plan right now is to cast it out of resin and as it's curing.. form fit it to my body.. but if that doesn't work... I have urethane rubber in hand.. which may be the best way to go. I'll be experimenting with this on Thursday night.
The collar will be out of resin and performed the same way as the belt. The head band is also made out of resin.. which is done!! I'll post a photo of it tonight.
The gauntlets will be made out of silicone and colored with cast magic color powder pigments. That sculpt is also done.. but being in a rush.. I forgot to photograph them
However, I do have a photo of them in the mold
Thanks everyone for your wonderful compliments.. this has been a learning experience for me.. MUAH!!
