PlasterBoard Tutorial

[Sangennaru]

Hi!

just wanted to share with you this new tutorial on my site!

http://thelazyforger.com/index.php/tutorials/preparing-a-plaster-board/



Plaster Boards are something extremely useful for some modelling challenges. And i think that everyone should have some of them on his table! : )


Anyway, soon i'll publish a tutorial on how to make a nice tiled floor, so you can find a use for those boards!


hope you like,

But what is the glass for?
In the tutorial you never use it.

it is used to make the flat surface of the board! you see, below the four strips?

actually i understand that this tutorial alone is quite useless: that's why i'm making the second part right now!!!

You missed the Lazy part of the Lazyforger website. 
Nice tutorial on making a plaster sheet.  My question is are you using the plaster as a master material, or as the finished piece?  If it is the final piece, what type of plaster are you using?  All of my dental plaster is a bit too strong to scribe, and the Plaster of Paris will not stand up to abuse.
Snitchy sends.

(actually i use a kind of dental plaster, i like that it is hard, it is much more accurate!)

very good tutorial

have You ever tried sawing the plaster with a thin twisted wire?
applying vibration to the glass to get rid of the air bubbles? (electrical air brush)
mixing the plaster with white glue for better stability?

@former user:

1 - it could work pretty well, but i think that it is a bit  fragile to do that!
2 - that's a good idea! for me is enought a few taps for remove the bubbles! ^^
3 - it makes it MUCH stronger, but you can't use it for sculpting, then! it is too much... plastic!
