1:22 White-tailed Gnu

Congrats Harriet and Phil!

That really surprised me because just now I'm finishing a mould of a black wildebeest I sculpted last two months I thought I was going to be ready for making copies two weeks ago, but all goes bad with first try of mould , but now with the second one I think all will be OK.

Ana, what you said about companies or people that makes moulds is really interesting for me too

Yes, I think it would be good solution if that people will do a good job. Maybe try to find someone like that in Spain too (for next work, because I'm sure now wildebeest's mold will be good!!)
If You wouldn't find anyone in Spain and people from Poland would not disappoint me, then maybe You could try this Polish company? I will let You know about what effect they make when I will see it. :)

I will search for it, lets see if I find something. There's an important sculptors forum in Spain, I will ask there. Anyway tell me something about the Polish company.

Harriet you really out did yourself on these two, they are fantastic. Are you working with a polymer clay now? Any way keep up the good work.

Happy scuplting

Thank you Joe, I work with Super Sculpey - I think Joan is using the same clay. It's fantastic.

I will start a thread when I finish painting my first copy. The original is not painted yet, but I will do because it will be for me. The scale is 1:23. I don't want to say more about it here because that's Harriet's thread :)

Next week my husband will go there with 2 of my works and this company will start working on mold and copies. It's first time when we don't do molds in home so I can't say anything yet about this company's quality. I will say more after I will get copies and mold from them. :) Here is link to their website if You want to see but it's all in Polish: http://www.kauposil.com/
