Smellybug Maquette Tutorial 2: Carriagekid

**klnw_84** · August 21st, 2006

ermm juz wondering if you got all of the sculpturing done in a day...Won't the clay dry up?? Or does it has to be baked to harden it? but still how did you manage to keep the clay moist? adding thinner, water?(btw great sculpturing)

**Pearson** · August 21st, 2006

klnw_84, he isn't using regular clay, it's a polymer compound called Super Sculpey, which needs to be baked to harden. It will dry out in a few months on it's own, but even then you can still work it with tools, it just gets a bit crumbly.

cool work I like your style creepy!

**1-thought** · August 21st, 2006

after starting my own, i have a few q's for you

1. when you are first blocking him in, is he hollow? or solid? or built up around the frame?

2. When you finish up, what do you do with the copper pipe? I mean, do you leave it in there? cut it off and fill?

Great its getting updated again

I couldnt help noticing tho, you use quite hefty "lumps" of sculpey when your doing your sculps, dont you have a real problem with cracking during the bake/cooling period?

or am i missing something ?

Peter ,What happened to your book/video you were working on?
I tried to get on the mailing list but the email would get returned.

**CAPTAIN_FADE** · September 28th, 2006

Hey Pete I’ve been thinking about working with sculpy again and looking at your tuts pushed me over the edge. I’m going shopping tomorrow and want to know what the most needed tools I should probably get are? I’ve moved since I last sculpted and am starting from scratch what are these materials gunna set me back and what can I cheap out on?

**Pearson** · September 28th, 2006

Captain, in his other tutorial, he talks about tools and has pictures of what he uses.

**CAPTAIN_FADE** · September 28th, 2006

Yeah But Id Like To Know What Guages Of Wire I Should Get,and How Much Matirials Are Gunna Cost Like Turpintine & Wire Mesh?

**Artist Marko** · September 29th, 2006

Wow - Such an honor to witness another sculpt by you Peter.
You're truly at the top of your game!
Can you give me an approximate time it takes to finish one of these?
Do you impose a deadline on yourself, Does the studio you work for?
Or do you just wing it?

**Peter Konig** · September 30th, 2006

sorry I've not responded in a while...been busy as heck. I promise to post anwswers to as many questions as possible this coming week, as well as posting the last of the sculpting pics. Again...apologies for how this one is dragging out!

**Darktwin** · October 1st, 2006

smellybug I appreciate all that your doing with your tutorials and how your breaking it down. Keep up the good work man.

**Zaphod** · October 1st, 2006

Thank you for doing this! Will you paint it as well? (sorry if that question have been asked).

**André_the_giant** · October 1st, 2006

The creature has a very strong resemblance to a creature in the third season of Farscape.
