I was finally able to be quite productive today
Now I'll be the first to admit when it comes to sculpting stuff I know absolutely nothing haha, so I'm usually making this up as I go along. Now my bucks at present don't look particularly attractive, but that will change in due course as I'm able to work on this stuff more.
Long story short I wasn't happy with how the shins were and felt that since I plan to use them as bucks for Vac Forming I wasn't confident they'd be strong enough to deal with the vac forming.
So I decided to start the body work process again first layering on a nice thick layer of two part builders bog. This builders bog helps with the rigidity and to all bulk out the over all size a bit which also helps me with my worries that it may not have been big enough to fit around a boot.
Next up I gave it a quick light sand to knock up the rougher areas
Following which I gave it another finer coat of the two part builders bog and then a really in depth sand with some nice rough sand paper. I went for the rougher grit paper simply because the builders bog is harder to sand than your typical filler. After which I got my finer normal filler out and coated both halves in a coat which is the start for getting it smoother and beginning some detailing.
After applying the normal filler and letting it dry I got a sponge and whilst it was wet I gave both halves a once over to just smooth out the filler a bit.
Now the lighting in the pictures below makes the bucks look WAY rougher and worse than that really are so I can assure they do look better in person haha
So next on the list is to continue to smooth the bucks out and to detail it such that it would be ready for vac forming whenever that may occur.
Stay stunned for more updates hopefully not to far into the future as I try learning sculpting as I go along
