[Usurper]

No cast yet

postman still has not deliverd Andrew's movie mold Lower Mandible big tooth, so i have to wait until it arrives, fingers crossed it will arrive this week, so i can get this molded up, i am itching to mold his ugly ass now

 

[TUSKY]

A watched postie never delivers
This sculpt is going from strength tp strength,...so why aren't you working in the industry Lee??
I would say you could turn your hand at other stuff.
But then again why turn a passion into a profession.

 

[Usurper]

I wish i was, but just because i knocked out a couple of preds does not make me a Sculpter as ive said before.

But i certainly would not turn down a job if i got offerd one hehe. I hope to sculpt some none pred related stuff in the near future, so at least ill be able to find out if i am a one trick pony or not

 

[maverick118]

If you do some non pred related stuff mate, I'll be watching closely ;-) I wouldn't worry about how many trick you have, the detail you've put into your p heads is cracking. It's just a case of what you'd like to do next whether masks again or props or prosthetics. Myself I'd go for masks as you've already go the pre requisite chops for sculpting and moulding...props well that's not so hard too. but prothetics well tis a differnt ball game mate...But you know where I am

 

[TUSKY]

Prothetics,: sculpting moulding, painting thats fun running the foam Meh nightmare if it doesn't go right and bloody expensive too!
if i hasd a workshop Lee i would hire you in heart beat, or two

 

[youngnpred]

Lee, I would like to see you do a monster squad "gilman"

or an Imp from DOOM

of all though, I think it would be great to see your own work created

[Usurper]

Kithunters Lower Mandible Movie Mask tooth arrived today, damn slow assed post.

I got my own back by making him wait at the door ( when i saw he had a parcel ) in the pissing rain, when he walked away i went to the door and called him back

The tooth nearly fits, which is great news, i literally need to reem out 1mm of clay and it will fit peeeeeeeeeeeeerfectly.

Sadly as any UK'rs will know the weather has gone **** up, so i will be unable to mold him today or tomorrow, IF the weather comes good on thursday then ill get him done then, otherwise it will be another week , due to me going back to work on friday.

Anyway THANKYOU AGAIN Andrew/Kithunter.

 

[icarus]

yeah weather gone **** AGAIN, AND i got the week off!!!


Ahh well spose i better continue sculpting then


i'll order you some sun for tomorrow to get this baby moulded!!!

 

[Simian]

HA, take that postman. thats awesome.

 

[JBReplicas]

Lee this is friggin awesome!! Cant believe I've missed this, must need my eyes testing...

 

[Usurper]

hehe, well the new tooth now fits and the lower mandibles have been sliced off. I will be molding these one night this week after work.

I will sadly not be able to take ALOT of photos of my crappy molding process on the head mold, I am going to risk upsetting ms surps by molding him indoors a week today, as it is the only day free for a while, but i will have to do this on my own, hense i will not have time to clean up and take photos as i go.

sorry but i just want my clay back now. and do not want to wait another couple of weeks.

 

[Nagash]

no pics?

 

[Usurper]

I will sadly not be able to take ALOT of photos

Ill take a couple of pics but ill be coverd in plaster ( as i said im messy ) so not as many as if i had a helper.

Sorry

 

[Usurper]

Well the mold was done on wednesday, i have been off work pretty ill for a week now, and tuesday i had help to mold the mask.

I did not take any photos as i just wanted it over with to get back in the warmth, sorry but my health comes 1st.

The mold has gone very well, as far as i can see

all the clay is out, and even being overly picky i do not see anything that needs touching up, this is a minor miracle as it was rushed. But i will not know for sure until the 1st pull is out, if i feel any better tomorrow ill pour some latex then.

again sorry for no pics but .

**** AAAAPPENS !

 

[Nagash]

I had hoped you would take pictures, but I totally respect that you take care of your self. I would still lke to see some pictures of it now, maybe you can decribe how you did it, but wait until you are feeling good again.

I hope it turned out well, especially because you IMO made the best P2 sculp.

What can I see, I can´t wait to see it.

"Here goes my hero......"

 

[Usurper]

To be honest bud my molds should NEVER be used as reference hehe, i have yet to have one come out with all its locating lugs, i lost/broke 2 on this mold ggrrr. and my partition walls are pretty crappy. I tried this time to use metal shims for the wall then i glued Silicone blocks onto the shims for locating keys, one of the keys must have floated off and is stuck somewhere in the plaster hehe.

If you wish to know about mold making and prefer pics to YOUTUBE videos i highly recommend this.

this is what i bought a few years ago and is very descriptive and helpful. ( also save me babbling on and not explaining things correctly )

 

[esdain]

you make me chuckle, and i don;t give a crap about any pics of molds, how boring, now, a raw mask is what i am waiting for, that excites me like a dip in a lake on a december morning, hmmmmm tasty
