Thanks Trev. I appreciate it.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this wax sculpting process. I have a kerrlabs ultra waxer, and some TMS wax. I really admire your work. I read your wax tutorial. I was wondering what some of your surface texture tricks are? One last question. The lighter fluid. I used the yellow bottled stuff. Is the white can stuff stronger/better?

Thanks
hi there,

Wax sculpting has a bit of learning curve, but once you settle in, it can be great.

I use clear Kingsford lighter fluid. I really don't know if there is any difference between lighter fluids as this is the only one I've used. It's never going to dissolve the wax quite as drastically as Turpenoid does for Sculpey, but it's good for cleaning up ears or nostrils or eyes. little areas you can smooth out otherwise.

For surface texturing I just use Sanding Sponges. You can push them into the surface. Clays are better for texturing than wax is, but you can achieve some really cool textures in wax. Most of the very best textures I've seen accomplished in wax are done by hand! Check out Erick Sosa's work at the top of this blog: [link]

all of that creature detailing he's doing with tools and a wax pen. He's really proficient at surfacing his work!!

So the real trick of wax is finding your own comfort with it. You sort of discover things about it as you work with it.

keep at it! I hope you enjoy wax sculpting. Believe me, the first time I tried it, I wasn't keen on it...but once you get a hang of it, there really isn't any better material for small detailed little models.

thanks!!
Trev
