OK, these poor people have very short legs… but the next two out have longer legs 🙂
Making more
Today’s work:Â two more people from the first two molds, and more people (clay only today).
It was warm today, and my material was a bit thick & set fast. This resulted in a lot more air bubbles, but I think I have the seams and air holes pretty well fixed & the new people are curing nicely.
And two brand new clay people to be cloned…

Figure #2 Just Out
First Replica
The first clay model has been replicated using Rapidset mortar, and I am quite pleased (that it was not a disaster 🙂 Now I have the second mold filled with the same material. I will need to remake half the mother mold for the first figure, as I broke it while releasing my statuette: it was much too thin & weak, also I should have divided the piece a bit differently. I will wait until I release the second mold, then do repairs on both molds as required.
