OK finally got his face on, about 4 days later than i'd hoped. Considering i only got so few days, thats a bit stressful. It seems to fit though, which is always a worry this point in the game. That its the right size n all. Luckily i seem to have got to a smart ass proficiency stage where things seems to just work ok like that. Big relief, that. Imagine if it was too small or too big. Geez.
The studio is littered with heads now. I think there is like 5 or so. But the one going on is the one moulded off the clay as discussed earlier... the mould weren't too excellent cos the one drop of thixo i put in the rubber to thicken it just made it solidify like f***, much like when i put in 10mls of it. That was a bit disappointing, it was not wanting to go quite into the eye sockets & stuff, but in spite of a few bubbles it come out ok.
With the rest of him, I've somehow smoothed him out all over, which isn't good really, cos now he's too smooth. Before, he was too rough. You cannae win this fight very easily. But i did bring the big gun to the studio today, the electric die grinder. The mofo in the cupboard, that is. When i start that baby up, its all over, red rover. Whatever i want to eliminate is annihilated pretty much as if it never was. Of course u need to direct that kind of power responsibly.
