Old Memories - Part 1!

Hi Di Ho!

So, after a long time I finally found some peace to sit down with Ben, Mikkel and Tue (who are visiting the Northern Part of the Jungle known as Berlin after coming back from the Painting Crusade in Brussels...^-^...) and practice  sculpting on my "Old Memories" Project... 

Luckily, Tue Kaae is one talented Sculptor who has brought some of his favourite Stuff with him: URO! URO is like that ancient, biblical Putty that combines a lot of incredibly useful attributes... It is both soft and flexible (not crumbling as easily as plain FIMO or Super Sculpey...), comes in all kinds of colours (the green putty is a Green URO, not Green Stuff...) AND cures in hot water! This means, that it can even be applied to plastic, which is absolutely amazing and very, very fast if needed... Tue uses a 1:3 mixtures of Super Sculpey : URO... It is pretty sticky, so it will hold even to a plain metal armature... Read more about URO here... 

It can be smoothened using at least 90% Isopropyl Aclohol (70% will not deliver the same result...), maybe also White Spirit (not tested out...)...



The Head and Expression Char you see in these Pictures have been give to my by Allan some time ago... You can find this and more illustrations in the Hogarth and Burne Books... We can also strongly recommend this book...



The back section is far from being finished and I will have to work on all muscles and tendons...




Did you know that Noses and Ears Continue to Grow as We Age...? Amazing! :D





Hope you like the sculpt so far... I will go for a older, wrinklier and somewhat cuter look as soon as I figure out what facial expression I will set on... but that´s the great thing about those non self curing putties: You have time to change anything you want... Once you are satisfied or if you need a firm base, you can cook everything (kinda like saving a computer game...:)...) and work on from there... Can´t wait to work on the Textures of his skin and add all those little Details that will make this come to life...
