This is a piece I made for a client that was cast from the original studio molds. I was hired to repair the original casting, then mold and cast clear fiberglass shells that could be built up and lit.
Here's how it came to me. It had a really bad crack on the bottom, and a flaw in the casting.
You can see the crack and flaws on the left side here, my daughter is holding it.
Here's after the repair, I cast parts and pieces from the other side, and also went to a hobby shop and bought replacement details that went on the bottom, most of them being train parts.
After the repairing the original I made a mold and cast it in clear fiberglass.
Here's a pic of the clear casting.
And the completed build up.
The finished piece is 37" long.
Here's some pics of the base I made for it.
