The female cow hybrid sculpture finished...
The water clays been sealed with crysta clear spray and a mould divide added just passed half way, It was decided early on to due to costs and construction that the sculpture would be photographed front on and that this would be a static display.....

The first layer of silicone moulding rubber is brushed on and left to gell....
Once all the silcone work was complete this multi peice fibre glass mother jacket was produced, this was to hold the rubber moulds position aswell as the weight, in total the finsihed mould weighted approx 25 kilos, there was also a resin plate mould made of the back half.....
Mmooo baby!! the resin casting produced using polyester gell coat layers pigments and reinforced with fibre glass. I've decided to leave the eyes in the cast instead of using glass eyes seen as one eye's iris and pupil will be distorted to match the eye socket, I've also left the teeth in the which seemed little need to dremel out and add acrylic

Your scaring me Ged, or maybe that should be scarring me,mentally !!! Is she going to be Friesian in colour !?
hmmm clays bubbling in the kitchen!! but no updates on this one till the sculpt is fully finished
Glazy that was and still is an idea, but the black and white pied is a colour in the furr pigment and not skin so still not sure, still waiting on funds to run another casting before painting,,,this one broke the bank :)
Great job! Congrats!. I spend more silicon to do less parts.
How many fibreglass moulds in total for a full size body, so many parts
