The Old Man and The Sea by IgorSky - FINISHED - BOTTLE - Scale 1/72


Recommended Posts

Thank you Neal!

Till the final is still far. Usually I am using the epoxy resin for the making of the sea. But this time I decided to try to use a different material. I have ordered the silicone and pigments for it, but I can not get it before the middle of June.

Haven't used that before, will be interested to see how that works for you. I wonder it its "sculptable" at all? Will have to check it out.

 

I have used the woodland Scenics Water Effects  with great final results. Was able to sculpt in pooling and waves with it.

I need the liquid transparent material for the making of the base of the sea. And I wish he did not change its volume when dry.

I'll use a transparent acrylic gel for making waves.

The basket is beautiful.  I'll have to  remember how it's done.

Unfortunately in during of this process the old man's left arm was broken, and this part was lost. Now I will have to make the new hand for him. :(

Thank you Arthur, Piet, Neal and all who are interesting of this small project!

 

What did you use to sculpt the cloths?

Neal, I have used for the sculping of the cloths Glue Titebond II Dark

You used wood glue to sculpt with, I have never heard of that!? AMAZING!

 

If you haven't already, you should try magic sculp. It's a two part epoxy and you have 45 minutes to an hour of working time. GREAT for detail work!

Many thanks for your advice Neal!

Yes, at first I was going to use the two-component epoxy for the sculpting. But size of this figure is very small and very fragile plastic. So I just dealt a few times this glue and a little shape it during it dries.

Yesterday I have received a two-component silicone and pigment for it.

Hi friends!

Many thanks for your feedback, support and all your LIKEs!

In this project I'm going to use a new material for the making of the sea.

So at first, I decided to try to use this material in a simpler project.
