Thanks for the info. How long has the helmet taken?
Thanks guys, the helmets taken about 6 weeks to sculpt.
For oil based clay you dont need any release agent, ive never used one.
Moulding:
The fiberglass jacket:
Fun! the angle grinder
After this we had to get it out of the shell, O...M...G was that difficult. Seriously, unbelieveable! I cant believe you can put that much force on the fiberglass and it didnt break. My girlfriend was putting all her weight to stop it moving whilst I had both feet on the bust pulling with every ounce of strength I had. It took us half the night!
Anywho onwards...
It looks like a pretty good mould! Last night I put the seam fiberglass layer on ready to pull when I get home from work later. Its had 2 gel coat, a 30 gsm tissue and a 300 gsm.
Fingers crossed. Its a difficult shape to fiberglass, well the baseball cap part is (our name for it) I hope theres minimal air bubbles.

Looks like it turned out beautifully!!!! This whole thing has been more than impressive. The smoothness of your sculpt is phenomenal!!! No transition molds, wow. Thats very well done!!
Wow, thanks for the replys guys! Im glad you all like it. As with all fiberglass it needs a small amount of tidying up, not a problem though. As with when we finished the legs no time to cherish the moment lol... right onto the torso!
Ok, we are going to have a week off. I think weve earnt it
No its not too late, the clay sculpt is still on our table. Ill take a photo, it survived pretty well actually.
Looking at the photos, again the colour and transparency of the fiberglass does wash out a lot of the details. Trust me its all there, I was giggling like a small child at Christmas when it came out of the mould

This is awesome, great job!
Thank you everyone!
Back from our week off, it was nice
As for materials to get started, we just bought 6 large rolls of plaster bandages off ebay... 5 or 6 blocks of clay and got too it. Once youve started you will get a better idea of how much clay you'll need.
Amy spent a few hours this afternoon starting the chest, still lots to do. More pictures soon.
