Here the pieces are shown cast in wax from the molds and ready to be taken to the foundry for bronze casting. The red is a soft patch wax used for touching up the hard cast waxes and fitting the weld areas.

The first picture is about an hour into this piece before I ran out of clay. I had used up all of the 60 pound of it that I had left. Hate it when that happens. Armature is two 24"x6" x2" treated posts screwed to a board. 

Modeled in ceramic clay, this 150% life-size.

Got some more clay, but now that it is almost 100 pounds, I didn't let the underlayer stiffen up enough and the face is starting to droop. Propped it up with some boards for a couple of days until the clay is stiff enough to continue.
