Making my own...?!

Can you see what it is yet?

Anyone who has already seen some of the process on FB, don't spoil it! I want to see if anyone can guess what my next Super Sculpey project is.

Aha!  I think you're onto me! 

I have a couple more progress pics which I'll post up later.

[Atreides]

Can't wait to see them!

Hope a guide will follow later, because I must try this! Love this character!

Filling the body out with foil, as I need to save on Super Sculpey. Leaving the feet alone - they need to be solid Sculpey so it has a lower centre of gravity, and better freestanding balance.

[shaolin_monkey]

I have covered the foil with a thin layer of Sculpey, and started to work on the general shape and build.

Unfortunately it has to pause here for the next fortnight - I ran out of Sculpey, and I'm not going to be around until 9th Aug!!

Do you bake this once you've finished the sculpt?

Do you bake this once you've finished the sculpt?

I will be doing that, yeah.  I don't know if you saw my Gronk, but I'll largely be following the same process as here:

My super sculpey is turning up on Thursday so maybe I'll have more progress shots by the weekend.

A couple of progress shots!

He's ready to be cooked!




Oven Cooked Klegg!!

[Fungus]

Careful with that oven temperature. He's heat-sensitive.

Sensitive clay-g.

[shaolin_monkey]

Hahahaha!! 

He's out of the oven and cooling nicely. The odd crack here and there, but a lick of paint will sort that.





Here's a slightly indulgent selfie to give a sense of scale.

Haha, that's fantastic!
