wolverine WIP

Body in medium grade willow wax.Using the infrared heat lamp to warm up the wax so I can use it like clay.Have to work fast as it hardens pretty fast but better than trying to build up big masses by slowly dripping using the wax pen. I got the anatomy Ed for christmas and I am using that in conjunction with a body builder magazine,Taishiro Kiya kits and anatomy books to create the anatomy.

TMS wolverine head

Made a waste mould of the blue wax wolverine head and cast it in the toxic mama wax and worked into it.It looks nothing like the original now (thankfully).Still a wip, trying to work into the hair. This TMS wax is brilliant-I cant find a fault with it.

Wolverine head

A wolverine head made from a homemade blue wax based on Tim Bruckners recipe.The hair is some white modelling wax I bought from Tiranti. Its very soft and dosen't need warming-probably too soft as it gets mashed easily when handling the sculpture.I think I might make a quick waste mould from this and cast it in the new TMS wax I bought and give that a try out.

Spidey finished

Spidey painted up and finished,mounted on a bog oak base.Apart from the grey primer, this was all painted by brush and not airbrush.

Spiderman primed

Spiderman resin cast

Resin cast pieces assembled using a combination of superglue and resin and wax to fill in the gaps.I'll leave it for a week to make sure its fully cured then I'll paint it up.

tms wax

Received my shipment of toxic mama wax yesterday.Its as hard as the blue wax I made but hopefully wont be as brittle and wont chip as much which is very annoying when your trying to carve fine details and a big chunk cracks off.No such problems with the wax I'm using for spiderman but its a bit soft especially in these summer months and I am using the freeze  spray I bought from Maplins alot.
