Here is a "hand" collection...all of which are about 16" long and 1.25 or 1.5" thick.

You will see a finished Maple, one straight off the bot, and a finished HDU (Duna Corafoam (thanks Joe Crumley)...

Very nice collection of materials and finishes Pat. I will let Dasch know to check it out.

Those are great Pat! That Sculpt Nouveau is magic stuff isn't it. I gotta get busy and make more of this stuff. Great job Pat.

Here is a couple pics of the finished product.
I did end up "mushing" (copyrighted term of Mr Joe Crumley) a little more Bronze on in places and then a spray of light green patina to attack the new areas. Finished off with with 4/O wool and a clear wax.

What are they going to be attached to? Looks good.

[pfulghum]

Magic...Just samples for customers..

I'm thinking of putting one over the door to the bathroom along with a sign that says "Emergency Room"

... I know pretty warped sense of humor, but sometimes I'm working so hard in the shop that I wait to the first last minute...

I have a belt buckle, with a hand, and it's engraved " Ignore this person".... I was thinking about making a free-standing sign, doing the same.

I also cut a sign that reads "miracles while you wait" and put it in the mens room in my shop.


We could be friends.

I liked the idea of using these as samples.. so I had a go at making one...but the other way around..

Mitch where did you get the model?
Mine was from vectorart3d (james Booth).

[mitch_prest]

the models a mitch original... i can do pretty much any 3d shape then turn it into something I can make.. I could take the same hand and put something in it..

Mitch,
Nice model. Do you have a scanner or what?
Mike

[mitch_prest]

thanks Mike

I don't have a scanner .. the model was built in 3d and then imported as an OBJ. This format seems to be readily acepted by most programs
