The model is of a Coke Oven face in 1:48. It consists of two columns and a large and small arch. The base is a piece of Sintra (PVC foam board) .. everything is glued together with epoxy.


I made a mold box and epoxied the model to it ..


I used Smooth On's 'oomoo 25' RTV. The only thing I would do different would be to use a brush to make sure the RTV was pushed into every crevice. Just pouring on did get 'almost' into every detail. One of the plaster castings in in the lower left


Close up of the cast piece


This is a test-piece I used to experiment with coloring. Since the brick in a coke oven like this would have been hard used, grimy etc. .. I sprayed some AI (Alcohol India Ink ) wash on, let that dry and then dry-brushed some FolkArt Terra Cotta acrylic

The 'brick work' inserted through the face of the structure and starting to add Sculpy 'stone' facing.



Still early in the process



This was my first time to use RTV. Went pretty well I think. The various 'bits' were ordered prior to the jump in cost for FUD along with some others so it wasn't that bad.]]> eTraxx 2011-08-08T21:40:37-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=32305&th=5929#msg_32305 lensman 2011-08-08T22:54:00-00:00
