Found Dreaming

What are those protrusions through the plaster for?

Steel tabs to hold it together. I cut up those steel studs the construction guys use for cheapo office buildings. It's the perfect thickness.

This should explain them:

Great idea Richard

Ahhhhhh.... I didn't see a parting line in the photo prior. Now it makes sense. I also would have made that mold differently which is why I wasn't see'n the process you had going on. Potato, potahto... as it were. I'm anxious to see this get waxed and cast.

Your not the only one anxiously waiting for Richard to get the wax mold done and cast, I'm loving this

I made a quick test wax of her face today. Obviously I didn't clean the mold before I poured the wax in..



I need to do a little trimming inside the mold so I can get it off of her forefinger without breaking it off, and I will need to do some dental work, but I am quite happy with it.

Thank you Richard

She is progressing:



I poured wax into the mold yesterday. I am in the process of breaking it out now. We will soon see if it's any good.

Richard

The wax is out.



I broke her head off, which is okay, but I think it is a little too thin, so I will pour another wax.

I want it to be about 3/16 of an inch thick (5 mm); this is more like 1/8 (3.2 mm).
