Looks good so far. I'd love to see the finished product. Looks like a monster in the making.thmbsp$

Who makes it?
 
Mine is by Aves and when I mix the two 50/50 mine comes out more of a bone lighter color.I just roll out lil balls of it to add to shoulder pads and thigh pads,and to beef up the calves.You can then use a little spit and polish to smooth it out.I got this from Franny-j-boy--a great customizer.hope this helps--STT

Got it from the same place. I use the same process but when it dried it had little craters all through it. I tried the Apoxie solvant but it dissolved some of the Apoxie. I may try water the next time to help smooth it out. I used the gray color.

Milliput
 
Is another fine material to use.

Been used by model builders for years.

new castle...this doesn't look right. It should be much smoother. did you mix the part A and B 50/50?

Pics of this procedure is great
 
Is there anything out there that could be used without having to be mixed.

Just have alittle cup of water sitting by , and every once in a while just wet the tool that you are sculpting with . This helps with the smoothing of the apoxie.

Now just ad some size to those chicken legs .

Joe,

I mixed 50/50. I dont know why it didn't smooth out. I bought the grey sculpt. Jeff, I am not going to mess with the legs. I like the 80's shoulder pad look. I am going to try the water tonight.

Franny-j-boy 02-25-2009 01:07 PM

Nice start
 
I think the more you work with this the better the smoothing will be. What i would do now is go back and take a emory board stick and just smoothen out the rough edges. You are certainly on your way.Keep it up.

Found this hint. I am gonna try it tonight.
TIP: Don't like the stickiness of the Apoxie Sculpt or you want to start sculpting immediately without waiting. Put a drop of olive oil on your hand and rub in like hand lotion or dunk the mixed amount into water! The stickiness will immediately disappear for you to start sculpting. When the stickiness returns, wet your fingers or tools and continue sculpting. Works every time! You can even wet each "part" when kneading it together.

Thanks for the tip Frank.
