Marquette making week 2:

Week 2 Marquette making started with us all kind of at different places as everyone apparently went home and did work on their models... I didn't  I was at the stage of using foil (forgot to photograph at this stage)  This was as close as I could get:


We used foil to block out and bulk out the majority of our characters so we didn't have to waist the expensive modeling material on something that wouldn't even be seen.  The wire used was to keep teh foil in place.  The Model was covered in foil and then squeezed tightly so there would be no alteration or air pockets within the foil.  The modeling clay could then be added.  Applying small sections over all of the foil was the aim however the hard part was actually getting the clay/putty soft enough.  A lot of warming it up and kneeding it in the palms of our hands did this.  We were told not to sculpt just yet but to simply block out so thats what I've done so far.


So this was the final outcome from week 2.  Obviously a lot is going to be needed to do before Mike leaves for good.  I hope I can keep up.  Next week I really need to make a head that will screw on... So little time so much to do!
