My "explosive" TNT

GUille,
Welcome to the forum. Nice looking figure. You really captured her look and I love the pose. If you cast any extras, I may be interested.

What didn't you like about DAS? I have some of this I have been meaning to experiment with and just haven't had the time. A lot of sculptures like the Super Sculpey but you have to cook it. That is why I picked up the DAS.

What is DAS?

DAS is a clay like material that air drys instead of being fired. Not exactly sure what the working time is on it. One advantage of Sculpey is that it remains workable until you fire it (in the oven). Then you can add more detail to it.

I hope I have that kind of skill to produced the one and only trinity like yrs. Fantastic!!!

First thing welcome to the group Second...WOW! That is some great sculpting! I will be keeping a look out for those painted pics.

Hi! And thanks!

As soon as I get the first casted copy I'll post it here (and then the painting job).
Is my intention to make extra copies of this model as part of a new project I'm involved in.

Phil:
About DAS (I think is paper/wood-fiber based) it's exceptional for scenes, grounds and dios, but it has two conts (from my point of view) that make me prefer A+B epoxy type modeling putties.

The first drawback is that it shrinks when cured, producing sometimes cracks and fissures specially on folds.

The second is that you can get smaller and better details using epoxy putties, and this last one is also less fragile when cured.

On the other hand no cold-cast epoxy lasts more than 1 hour (or so) without curing and DAS can last "modelable" almost days if you keep it wheat or wrapped in plastic film.

Those pictures are making me depressed :< . I should try to do things like that more often. Way to go looks really really great to me.

Sorry Mage! It's wasn't my intention to hurt your fellings :)
Hope to have a copy already casted soon to show it here!

CU!

Hi everyone!!

After thinking a while the best molding quartering and making the necessary corrections, here are the first casted copies of my lady.
Support background wall would be also in resin, and hands would in metal.



Next step painting stage.
Cheers

Hi!

Before painting, here're last shots of hand masters previous to spin-cast molding:

GUille,
Can't wait to see her painted.
Are you planning on selling copies?

Hi Phil!

Well as molds are already done, I think it would be worthwhile to use them
I'm quite concrened about painting. It's a real challenge to make a good work just in tones of black

GUille

Wow, excellent work. If you decide to sell privately, let us know where we would be able to find one
