Ok, here are a few pictures of what the resin is putting me through... oy.


This is the first cast I did. The resin turned out great, but he was riddled with air bubbles, and had a few holes where I needed to add more air holes to the mold. The color is ok, but not quite what I wanted as far as matching a Luts body. Also he somehow got something green stuck in the resin... I'm guessing it was in the mixing cup??

Why not much in the way of updates on my sculpt lately? Because I'm in the priming phase, and MAN does it take FOREVER. X[ After doing tests with Krylon, Mr.Surfacer, and Gesso, I decided on Gesso for the base coat and then Mr.Surfacer as a final top coat to fill in the smallest scratches and stuff.

Well, I'm FAR from the Mr.Surfacer step. OTL The biggest problem I'm having is that Gesso a) takes forever to truly dry,...

The head is coming along, slowly but surely! ^_^ Still fiddling with parts, but I figured it was time for some more photos.

I actually gathered the balls to put him on a body and actually let him take the tension from the S-hook for like, the five seconds it took to take these pics. It was a bit scary, but he held up really well! I just really needed to test the S-hook mechanism I made, and his mobility....

Because I'm super shy about my sculpting projects, I wasn't brave enough to post my progress here, but I did make a few posts in my livejournal. ^^;

But since I've introduced him here now, I figured I'd c/p my old lj entries into this blog, in case anyone's interested ni my progress.

He was already at a point where I was pretty happy with his face in this first post. I didn't feel so bad about the mechanical bits not being perfect, but his face had to be what it was...
