OK-- I am tired of messing with it-- I started the molding today. Because I used a softer clay, I didnt go the plaster route as I didnt want to spend time digging it out of the mold. I am using dragon skin for the mold, this way I can do either latex or resin copies. I will do a few layers of this and then a hard mother mold. After that I will cast a resin copy and a latex copy. If the latex look good, then I will be happy-- if not then I will have the resin one to make the changes I want and then mold it up again. Serves me right for using the wrong clay to begin with!!!!

OK--Have the mandible tusks casted, done-- here is the head being molded and ready for casting tomorrow-- we will see what happens. I had some Shell shock that I used on one side, Plasti Paste on the other. Molded in Dragon skin so we shall see--

Well, the shell shock stuff is absolute crap-- I started to take it off and it basically disentegrated into hundreds of pieces. I wont ever use that again. That coupled with the fact that even though I used release on the shell shock before I added the plasti paste--it still didnt release. I guess Im going back to the plaster mother mold. So this will be delayed for a bit. Live and learn. Glad it was just a trial kit of the shell shock. Im bummed that I wasted the plasti paste as well.
This afternoon will be interesting. I wanted to be able to start casting some pieces today but looks like tha twill be on hold for a bit. Oh well, I have to learn to be a bit more patient, but its not one of my good traits.

OK-- got a mother mold made for front and back, unmolded it today and it came out surprisingly clean. The clay original is in pretty darned good shape and I can start reworking it for my next Sculpt. I put the Dragon skin mold back in the mother molds and it held shape great. I poured a few layers of 325 into it and let it harden up, then some 2lb expanding foam. I was so damned anxious to unmold it, but I know better-- so tomorrow will be the outcome. I will then probably pour up a couple of latex ones as is just for the heck of it.
Ill then rework the resin one if need be, and a new mold for that possiblly. Ill paint up the resin one and install dreads and such for display- This is so much darned fun!!!!
More pics to come soon.
