Sculpting a GM from scratch...ground up


Recommended Posts

OK so I'm still making some mods to the chest to get it a bit more accurate along with some help from peeps over on the other two boards.

Here's what I came up with after one failed attempt....the second try was good though. I'm pretty happy with the way it looks and fits, very comfy! Let me know what you all think!

I just want to say that I know Will and he IS anal LOL! He saw my start at my Aurra Sing costume and set out to design and make my pistols for me and every other person out there that needed an awesome set of pistols. He has helped me with several other projects and I can attest to his hard work and attention to detail. He is always open to suggestions for improvement as well.

 

He will be making new shins for my husband and I for our KT's.

OK I re-pulled this in the .090 white cause that's likely what I'll be using for this piece. I noticed that it kept it's form much better than the .060 on the initial pull (pics of that ugliness over on CT.net) so I was much happier with the results. I trimmed it down to where I figured looked about right and I'm pretty happy with it. Obviously I still need to add the loops, but I need to get this part down first before moving forward (not to mention I need to know exactly how big this shoulder bell will be before adding them).

Here's where I'm at right now on this piece. This piece has kind of been a thorn in my side. I originally thought it to be a very simple quick sculpt (I'm beginning to learn there is no such thing, especially given how anal I am )

 

After doing the math and marking all the proper lines over the curvatures, I cut grooves into the mold (not before pulling another scrap master just in case). These had to be absolutely straight because they would become guides for the Audio Video cable that I was about to use for the raised ribs/loops (yes, I said Audio Video cables...hey we all know how it is, use what you can and what works and what's cheap right? ) I just super glued them on there cause I really only needed it for one pull anyway. Afterwards the final master will be completely plaster. Here's pics:

And here's what happens when you get your finger in the super glue...yes that's part of my finger print ...ouch!

Next, I chopped off the bottom edge of the mold to square it and size it properly

Here's a preliminary pull. I still need to clean up the tops of the ribs and fade them into the bell...easy stuff and shouldn't take too long

That's it for now, stay tuned for more.
