Happy Thanksgiving!

Thursday, November 22nd, 2012 07:05 pm GMT -5

I have not even had time to update my blog. My new job requires a lot of attention while I get settled in and get enough people trained so I can take a day off every once and a while!

But while I’ve been busy… Sculptor Tim Diener has been busy getting the final character designs finished up. This is what is great about having more than one person working on the project at the same time – even when progress in my workshop stops, progress in other shops keeps … Well… Progressing!

A week ago, Tim delivered the final sculpt of the “Man on the Cabin Porch” (I really MUST start figuring out real names for these people.)

The final results are far far better than I ever could have imagined they would be. The quality of this sculpture will set the tone for the rest of the scenery, and set the bar high for any other artists that sign onto the project moving forward.

They say a picture is worth… Ya know. So, without any further a du, here are some pictures. I will be working on the mold for this sculpture this weekend. It’s a “all or nothing” thing… If it doesn’t work, then I’ve ruined months of work. (So, I can’t let that happen!)

I’ve run a complete trial run on a sculpture I made. So I feel pretty confident. But there’s always a chance…

Anyhow… Here’s the pics, wish me luck this weekend.

It is difficult to appreciate just how big these robots are till you see a head compared to a normal human! (Or Beth :) ! )

The artist (Tim) and his masterpiece... I couldn't have even hoped for any better quality!

I had to carve "open" his mouth so that the future mask will have an "inside" of a mouth....

The separator plates now hammered in... there's no going back now!

The rear of the head, now covered with foil so that foam will not stick to the back of the sculpture.

First pull

This is the first pull from the “big lady” mold. This will be the character that replacrs Mitzi in the Rockafire show I have. I sculpted and molded this mask with the eyes in it rather than holes to try something diffrrent. This is also a test post using my Android phone….
