He come good

So well he's come good. 10am this morning i realised he was orright.

I need to work out what the deal is here. I can't handle the endless terror with a happy ending at the last moment. It sounds like a cheap sci fi episode if i ever heard one.

I ended up up making his face on a head armature on the table, and then casting it into plaster. Added some wire hooks on the back to attach it. I removed most of the head off the main figure, and then placed the face up there in its place & added clay around it to make a full head related to it.

i guess this is the way to go, something along the lines of making sections in plaster & glue em together. Rodin used to do that sorta thing, though he used to have a stack of body parts that he mixed and matched, far as i know. Can't say that wouldn't be handy (heh heh).

I think plaster is my medium, for the future. It fights back better than clay does & yet you can have the best qualities of clay in the finished product cos you can make the sections orignally in clay if you want to. But you don't have to, you can make them drect n the plaster too :) Except for the dust problems, its the best stuff to use.
