Below is a step by step guide through the production of the piece.
PAGE TWO

The Moulds were made over the weekend (24th/25th of June 2006)

(All Photos on this page taken for me by Rob Simpson)

Firstly the piece is "cottled" (a sleeve placed around the piece and sealed at the base before the silicone rubber is poured in)

Then approx 24 hours later when the rubber has set the wax is removed from the mould ready for the resin.


The sorry remains of the original wax sculpture

Resin is poured into the mould

Once the resin has cured (approx 30 - 40 minutes for this piece) the piece is removed from the mould
 

The piece comes out of the mould with a thick resin base that needs to be removed on a belt sander

The Piece is then "fettled" to remove a flashings and is tidied up

The Finished Whites

Rob cast the very first white on the 26th and he sent me photos of the painted piece on the 27th.
