Hi all, Some pictures from a sculpture experiment:  This is SuperSculpey oven bake polymer clay used for making gunport lion sculptures. Next, they will be trimmed as much as possible, baked and then sanded down from the back before attaching to gun ports. Cheers, Peter |

Cool idea! What did you use for a mould/master?

Hi Vlad,
As usual, looking great. Impressive mass production method. Are you using resin casting?
I just used SuperSculpey for everything. This is the first test. I need to try them on some gun port lids to see if it looks alright.
Cheers,
Peter

Hi Fred, I first sculpted a master and baked it:  Then I used that to make a mould and baked that one too:  Then just use this to stamp more of them, PlayDoh style. Advantage is that copies can be further sculpted before baking, and even used as new masters. That way I have a method to mass produce sculptures that all have individual traits. Cheers, Peter |

Very well done, Peter
Your lion looks like the real thing at Vasa.
I would recommend you, to make two or three additional lions of slightly different design for diversification.
Cheers, Alexander
