Nate Clone
The Boy is somewhat despairing of all the casting equipment that I seem to be bringing home these days...
Having cast Elena, I wanted to cast a resin head for Nate too; it's that bit sturdier, and his hair was apt to chip at the slightest knock given he's made of polymer clay.
I'm really not very good at making moulds, sadly. Nate's had quite a few flaws: some small bubbles in the eyes and nose, and a huuuuge one that lost him his chin. However, that one was easily fixed with some polymer clay, whilst I carved out the smaller bubbles. I'm pleasantly surprised at how well the hair came out - every detail reproduced beautifully, and no breakage of the original (at least with the first mould I made; I'm now on my third, and the poor sod is currently submerged in green goo).
Next for Clone!Nate, paint - maybe I'll make him look a tad less miserable/pained this time.
