I love seeing the work that the instructors and students produce on their social media pages. Such talent! I might be a little too abstract for that venue, however 😂
Thanks! It’s always fun mixing things up in the shop. My newly finished project is just about the opposite end of the spectrum and is a tiny carving, so nice to have some variety!
My kiddos love to help out any time in the shop! They’re so curious (like I was growing up) about how things are made and my hope with projects like this is to show them that if you can dream it, you can build it!
I used Roscoe’s Foam Coat for this one, and it’s a great alternative to fiberglassing (and it doesn’t smell). The foam coat sands easy and is flame resistant, but you can’t stand on it or really abuse the carving like you can with fiberglass. I do use the Roscoe’s as a base layer as well if I am fiberglassing to avoid potentially melting the foam underneath due to the fiberglass heat reaction. I totally recommend the Roscoe’s though. Great stuff.
I use mostly Golden airbrush paints, though the cost is pretty high. I have now shifted to using a brand off Amazon that is for less expensive and seems to spray well. I’ll do a review of them later once I have a bit more spray time.
гарно робота. скажіть , чим ви покриваєте фігуру? я зазвичай роблю невеличкими шматками тканини на клею ,але я бачу існує більш швидкий спосіб зробити міцною фігуру
Дякую тобі! Я використовую поролонове пальто під назвою Roscoes Foam coat, хоча є багато компаній, які виробляють подібні продукти. Деякі навіть являють собою суху суміш, до якої ви просто додаєте воду, і в кінцевому результаті виходить гарна поверхня, яку можна шліфувати та фарбувати. Ці покриття зазвичай використовуються для театрального реквізиту.

Wow. That is beautiful. So fun to watch it take shape. You should be an instructor at Port Townsend School of Woodworking.

Nice work!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
What an amazing project! And what an eye for detail! You made that look way too easy 😂 love seeing your skills on both large and small carvings!

haha imagine one of his kids goes on a field trip there and her teachers think she's lying when she says "my dad made that!"
good job! And I LOVE your kids are involved! I did so many projects with my dad, and it put me way ahead in my journey of art and inventing ...

Looks beautiful! May I ask what clay you used to sculpt the eye lids?
Thank you! The product is called “Magic Sculpt” and it’s a two-part epoxy clay you can pick up off Amazon. Great stuff and dries really solid.
What did you use for the ‘hard coat’? Most of the big foam sculptures I’ve seen get fibreglassed and I really don’t want to start that 😅

Perfection!! May I know what kind of paints you used for this project?

I just realized you're the grizzly guy
The (formerly) Grizzly Guy 😂 It was a ton of fun filming/working for Grizzly for years. Great company and great people.
