• Statues and Theme attraction icons: Typically life size to medium statues and character icons are indurated fiberglass. The subjects are initially sculpted in high density poly urethane foam. This light weight, yet dense foam is paramount for carving and creating fine detail. It is an exceptional product that resists and accepts direct application of catalyzed resin products (i.e: polyester resin) used for induration. Fiberglass Reinforced Product "FRP" (polyester, epoxy, urethane or high strength gypsum) is then applied to the subject making it virtually impact resistant. The process of detailing and finishing are the final steps before paint or other topcoats, such as

  bonded bronze, applications are permitted to compliment the desired result.

 

• Busts & Portraiture Are sculpted in either oil or water base clay; Further requiring a mold to be made as well as casting in a medium suitable to achieve the desired product. Sculpture in it's malleable form may not be suitable for shipping without special care. Some carrier restrictions may apply.

• Character Maquettes and Prototypes: Maquettes are small sculptures ranging in size from 2.5" to as large as 16" tall. The materials used in the creation of a small subject lend themselves to more forgiving modeling materials such as wax, clay, or polymer based mediums. I can create maquettes in variety of materials that best suit the client's intended use. For example: Master figure models that will ultimately be produced in vinyl are generally sculpted in hard wax (Castilene). Animation study maquettes, figurine and collectible statuettes, or otherwise intended for molding and cold cast resin production, are often sculpted in non hardening wax based clays. Polymer clay (e.g.: Super Sculpey) is also a convenient medium that is commonly use by professional sculptors of all levels. Polymerclay sculptures can be baked, becomes hard and exhibits relatively durable characteristics. Although durable; polymer clay subjects can crack and rarely survive the mold making process in tact. If molding and casting is being requested; It is for the interest of achieving a cast reproduction, with an understanding that the original sculpture will be lost. Polymer clay maquettes and sculptures not specifically intended for cast reproduction are fortified with the addition of an epoxy based medium in areas potentially susceptible to breakage (i.e; appendages and small items. These (polymer) clay sculpts can be highly sought after since they are revered as original art - and should be handled as such.

  A cast resin piece (requires a mold) may be desired if the subject is intended as a definitive master, reusable asset or demands excessive portability. Maquettes are finalized in a medium gray or matte primer finish which is best suited for digital scanning. This gray color is typical to industry standards since it visually allows for better display of detail emphasizing subtle contrast between light and shadow as an aid to animation character study. *Painted maquettes and collectible figurine protos can be achieved. Color 'call outs' can be specified with submission(s).

Molding / casting services pertain to:


1. An original design that has been requested for me to sculpt.
2. A single large sculpture's feature or components where it is necessary.
3. Objects/subjects that are designated to be cast rigid or flexible material such as latex, urethane or silicone for the purpose of the final piece(s).
