Aiight, I'm in!

Rather than start with an existing piece, I'm going to enter my newest Filmy's Girl, based on the art of British artist Aly Fell.  The sculpt is almost complete and we're going to mold her tomorrow or Monday, then cast up an artist's proof so that I can (hopefully) get one painted up for Wonderfest.  I figured what the heck, why not shoot it as I go and submit it here for your consideration?

Here's the original art that I licensed from Aly:

Charge!



Since this is not based on an existing kit, I suppose I should include the sculpting and casting shots as part of the WIP.  Here are the progress pix so far:

Charge!


http://www.modelbuildersonline.com/Making-Of/Making-of-Charge/Charge03/839277144_8wBPn-XL.jpg
Charge!



The props will include her dressing table, mirror, and stool, her slipper, a can of hairspray and all of the accoutremont on her table, electrical socket/charging station, and wiring to her electrodes.  I am going to scratchbuild the walls, gauges, and switches and - hopefully - light it.  I may not get all of that done before WF, but I will for this thread.

Great sculpting, the hair looks fierce Big Grin
The fig seems pretty tall, how heavy is it?
Some leds on the display would be really cool!

Amazing! The details are awesome too. Hope you keep all those little details in the artwork (franki's photo next to the mirror for example).

By the way, what's the green sculpting product you're using? The texture on the skin looks so smooth and it seems there's no other products/fillers used on it.

Thanks, guys.  Zeke, she is 1/6 scale, about 12 inches from head to toe (if she were standing).

I plan to light the mirror, gauges, radio doo-dah, and the beaker with the brain with LEDs.

She is sculpted in wax.

It's Castilene, right? I too would love to see some tutorial material on working it. I'm thinking about buying some. Which hardness are you using?

Wow ditto, any more info on using wax for sculpting would be great! As I'm about to start my sculpt and as it will be fairly large thinking magic sculp won't cut it.

Cheers.

Very smooth sculpt and her shoulders and back look quite erotic. Forgive me my stupidity but i don't know, what is this wax thing!? I use sculpey for figure sculpting but never heard about this wax, is this a same material or something else?
