Awesome

 

I don't know. The deeper I go the more awkward it gets to remove any more material. I'm just going to keep chipping away at it, but there WILL come a time when I say "Right, that's enough".

 

As a brief interlude, here's a pterodactyl fossil I fabricated a few years ago.

 

Look,you can see it's tiny little hands!

It's a girl!

How did you make that?

 

I made each little bone out of milliput epoxy putty and stuck it down on a baseboard. I painted all the bones with a couple of coats of acrylic paint to look like fossil bone. Then I flooded the board with a slurry of plaster mixed with fine sand. When that had set, I carved away the plaster carefully, as a fossil preparator would develop a real fossil, until all the bones were revealed.

I don't have enough to do with my time, obviously.

 

Opps chip sengravy has been banned
Get tapping away mr po

 

Yeah a know.

Too drunk now.

 

I suspect that alchohol is a factor in the other thread Bob...

 

Best time m8 - get those razor sharp chisels out and really go for it...

just remember - you are a sculpting god...

 

Ta.

Someone's interested in buying it. How much should I ask?

 

Well, that depends. Do they want it as fuel for the wood burning stove, or...

no.. that would unthinkable... surely, not for use as a door stop?

 

I daresay... er..... Simon.

 

 

One day, I'll be able to afford more expensive tools. Then I can be a proper artist.

 

PMSL

 

Phew... thats a relief...





I thought you were going to suggest something else then....

 

I haven't done much on it today, so no pic.

Shameless bttt, in other words.

 

Today's update:

Well, I've finally decided to go for the more three-dimensional version, and started to excavate deep within the mouth area.

 

Good move. You should do that with the rest of the skull too

(after you've watched Kirsty of course)

Are you blind? Actually, there's no need to answer that....

 

Are they like sharks teeth and keep growing forever :confusedL

 

Bubba - that is looking faaaaaaabulous, dharlink

 

They grew to about six inches long, then were either shed or broken off during an act of predation/scavenging. A new one grew in its place.

HTH.

 

Cheers, m'dear. I've got a bloke who wants to buy it when it's finished.

 

I will trade you five squid and a lobster for it mr po

 

:Ponders:

 

I thought you said it was 'art' not mere craft....??

You've sold out...

 

No-one ever buys art, then?

 

No, no true artist ever sells his work. That's just prostitution.


You should tell him to 'catch the first train home....' the cheeky begger... and keep your integrity intact
