Maquette

I have finished the maquette, and will mould it it fibreglass to get used to the process before I do the final one, cos I haven't done a part mould before.
With water based clay I have found it is best to leave it to harden a little before going into the fine detail (not that this is massively detailed). Also, the lines on the face are better achieved by massing around them, instead of drawing them on with a tool, which ends up looking too flat. WED is a quick clay to work with, and I will use it again, but for very fine detail work, I might consider an oil based clay, such as aforementioned Le Beau Touché. I think WED will be even better to work with on the larger scale final sculpt.
