QUEEN30
Sculpt progress on the Alien Queen - ALIENS 86 - 1:18 scale.
Molding time! Time to mold the first of many parts that will be made to create this beautiful beast. First piece for replication will be the carapace (crown). This will be a two part mold, and as usual, I run out of product before I have a chance to finish! :(
I got the first half of the molding process complete - have ordered more material and it should be in my hands a couple days from now.
Built the mold box from foam core and used monster clay for the blocking. Applied a brushing of mold material (Smooth-On Mold Star 15 Slow) over the entire sculpt and surface, then made my pour. Several hours later, inverted the mold and cleared the monster clay to begin the second phase....coming later this week.
Will add more venting prior to doing my first cast. Much more to come...got some painting to do!!!
