Progress of the Casting Project

These past few weeks I finished up casting into the body part molds and have now started de-molding which means my studio at Art Space finally looks like a proper sculptors space.

The Academy of Baccio Bandinelli, 1550 by Enea Vico 1523–1567




















The process contains several steps beginning with covering the mold with a release wax then casting a face coat of the Jesmonite resin, reinforce it with fiberglass and build up layers until a thickness of about 3-4 mm. Leaving it to cure for a few days I then de-mold the pieces, heat them up and remove the wax residue. After this they are ready to be assembled into the full figures, which I started on this last few days.
