[QUOTE="Alf, post: 2683636, member: 35356"] Well - not quite. None of my soccerplayers survived the mastercasting completely intact but then again now I've got the masters so that's OK. I'm supposed to get casts in the mail today :D (nudes - next step is I'll dress them up and do faces - two for each figure). Yay my first professional casts!! :D I had a discussion with a professional sculptor sculpting only in wax and she said she had no problems shipping. Must have been another type of wax than what I've tried. I don't use it because I find it fiddly to work with. Then again I might not have tried the right type of wax. I believe some twenty to thirty years ago waxsculpting was much more common. On the gnome: Doing 1 x 1 mm Kanji in magic sculp/FIMO mix did unfortunately NOT stick but came of once it dried so I'll have to try another way. Otherwise more or less finished (turtle familiar added - peeking out from under the robes. Doing the turtle face in 0.5 x 0,3 mm was a bit of a hassle ;) ). I find the left hand (holding the bottle) a bit to big but will leave it at that or I'll never be done. I'll post some pics later. [/QUOTE]
