lol MASS PRODUCTION of scales.... also that looks like it'd make a super neat table... coloured resin shells in clear/blueish resin... ee anyway.. looking awesome!
Yes the glass I used to mold the massive 120 scale mold was originally a table glass that I picket up on my way home cause it looked like a good sculpting surface, and yes I had to sculpt all those scales cause castin 19 at a time every 24 hours is way too tome consuming so casting 120 at a time should speed things up a bitQuote:

Sometimes I do it till my fingers burn and bleed

Oh wow ouch, do you ever us like a hair dryer to heat up the clay to make it a little softer or just strictly your hands?Quote:

YOU ARE SKILLED, WOW. Those sculpts are GORGEOUS.
Thanks guys [emoji817][emoji1434]❤️.
Yeah the glass table top was the best idea I’ve had lol I found a rectangular one pretty long perfect for a scale sheet.
Here’s the scale pattern I made with three different sizes
This pic is the scale pattern I made using 3 scale sizes , these are not glued down so might be a bit out of place. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ce0360e1a8.jpg

That's so cool, what are they being glued down to? is that powermesh or some other sort of fabric? (am learning lots from watching all these tailmaking journeys ^_^)
It’s powermesh I got it a Joann’s fabrics.Quote:

What type of plaster are you using Marinus? The amount of detail it captured is fantastic
