Funny, I was thinking the same thing with the detail you’re already putting into that tower of yours!

Let's keep flattering each other this way! I don't know about you but it making wonders with my self esteem.

I am curious how things work having wet clay (because it is ordinary sculptors clay you are using, right?) and GS.... Is it a process you've tried before? Aren't you trapping moisture inside that thing when you covering it with that non permeable compound?

EDIT: Ah sorry, I now see you are using some sort of air drying cellulose clay.

[Malamute]

Ashamed to say I've only just seen this. Andy this is outstanding!

[Mason]

Holy shit, Andy!
 

You have won already!
 

[ichwillauch]

Very impressive!

[Braz]

Wow. Great progress. 
You do seem to have a 'thing' for giant heads sticking out of the ground...I remember Kronos, and IIRC a sentinel, and an Olmec head and this. Did I miss one?

I hear he also has a thing for moles......

That sounds like a good plan!

What I’ve doing is drying the clay on my radiator overnight and starting doing stuff again in the morning. The clay is bone-dry by the morning. I’m managing to get more done because of my work situation just now.

Holy shit, Andy!
 

You have won already!
 

You flatter me waaaaay to much sir! You just need to see the guys doing the 3D stuff, the castles being built and the spaceships being constructed to know that’s not true!

Wow. Great progress.

I’m a lazy bastard! I just don’t want to have to build the rest of the bodies on these things!

I hear he also has a thing for moles......
 

That’s next years Build Something sorted then? A big f*#k off hammer!

Thanks guys!

So, the torch has moved on a wee bit. I’ve GS’d the main parts(I’ve still got the flame to do) and added some fingers to hold it. They still need some filling in at the back!



I’ve also decided to make it just one base. When I had the two and I tried the placing, the bits looked too far apart. I’ve added a wall around the outside and put a couple of wee resin bits and rubbish about there too.

[Hammers]

Rubbish. Amateurish.

You neglected to sculpt the pinky finger.

[Mason]

Rubbish. Amateurish.

Gotta agree. Sorry....

Pull yer finger out and do it properly, mate.
 

[gamer Mac]

Great stuff
You are getting better at this sculpting business
Don't see what Mr Hammers is talking about?

[Juxt]

 

[aircav]

Superb 

[Mason]

Don't see what Mr Hammers is talking about?

I think that he has been chatting with his mate Geoff again.....

Ye Gods Andy - this is superb. I bow down.
