  • Why not work with gravity and lay the sculpt horizontally? I'm guessing it's because of the wooden base... is there some other reason? I just think there would be less to worry about that way. Nice vid though, really appreciate it! I love seeing other people's processes.

  • Sometimes I do work horizontally, if the sculpture permits it. This sculpture was top-heavy and the clay on it's ankles may have cracked if I did it that way. But you are correct, laying the sculpture down to make it easier to apply the plaster is certainly an option you can use.

    If I remember correctly, I probably did that when I applied the plaster to the second half of the mold I made in this tutorial.

  • how do you make the wall structure

  • There's noting I did that was special in any way for the wall or didn't mention in the video, it really is just a sculpture that is made to fit around the sculpture and is made from the same clay (Kleen Klay) that I sculpt onto it that attaches to the sculpture I'm molding. Just build up big fat sections that are strong enough to support themselves and the clay you will add to them.

  • Nice Jim Rose shirt!!

  • nice job

  • nice work - ridic!

  • Package it all together. From sculpting to mold making, to casting the latex, how you trim it, etc. In other words, a comprehensive tutorial of a stop motion puppet, from beginning to end. I can't see it not selling, if done as well as the mold making tutorial.
