Spent yesty in the foundry again. The big bloke swinging longways on 2 hoists & flipping him over to get to the gnarly bits. I get to a certain point where i'm just get too tired to figure out what kind of mark i'm sposed to be making. Get to this point before 4pm & shoot thru about then. Maybe with practice i can go the whole day. But luckily don't need to push it that hard at the moment.
Regards this new proposal i got some quotes while i was there. For @metre high figures cos i'm thinking about that size or smaller. I learned about making plaster waste moulds to give wax impressions & i think i want to go that way for this next thing if i get the project. What a great idea, if you are only doing a one-off why bother with rubber anyway, you're just going to chuck it out after one impression. I can do some finishing in the wax too, & there you are. Can save about 20 grand in mould making for the project i'm contemplating, so that means that could go into making the sculpture bigger & more exciting which might help get the job.
Or else i can quote for the moulds too & just means i have 20K to play with if something goes wrong, or i run outta time & the foundry do the moulds anyway. Like would have to happen if i go back to my real job. This project is basically the first 6 months of next year, in which time i'd have either gone back to my real job or quit it altogether. How tempted i am heh heh. Anyway tempting's nothing, the numbers are the thing eh.
