. "I did start with a wire armature, which is like a metal skeleton made to the same proportions as the model. This 'frame' will support the clay on which you you will sculpt the details of the figure. As I was going to take a mould of of the finished model I decided to sculpt the figure in an oil based clay called Chavant. This clay comes in varying grades of firmness, ie: soft, medium and hard. I chose medium as it holds enough detail in the clay without becoming to hard to work with Chavant remains soft and never hardens to air, so it is only used on sculptures that you are going to take a mould from. I will be making a scilicone (a kind of rubber-like material) mould from the Spike model and then pouring a kind of liquid plastic called ''Fast Cast'' into it. When that has gone off (or cured as they call it) it is taken from the mould and that is your finished product! ." sueworld2003 -Freelance Artist
