Here's something a little different. Another mini Frodo, but I think this one is a lot more fun than the first one.
This is part of a piece for Sideshow Collectibles that was unveiled this week, and will be going up for preorder today, Friday the 17th. The diorama consists of 5 incredible Ringwraiths moving in towards Frodo from the scene in "Fellowship of the Ring" on Weathertop. I was asked to make the Frodo piece which is seperate from the Ringwraiths. Take a look at the incredible Wraith sculptures here: [link] Just to make it clear, I DID NOT sculpt the Ringwraiths. They're bonechillingly awesome, and incredibly well done. I'm honored I got to sculpt a terrified Frodo to go along with the piece, because it's a wickedly cool diorama. The multiple colors on Frodo are just due to different types of wax. the base is balsa foam with actual rocks and dirt, as well as some sculpted elements. Whatever gives you a convincing look! The scale is 1/9. Frodo was probably about 5"-6" from head to foot. I really need to put a coin in for scale, or something. It's tough to tell what size he is. thanks for looking Trev |

looks Fantastic!
A couple questions - are the different waxes used for varying degrees of texture?
What do you use to secure the dirt to the base so it doesn't remain in the mold?
Thanks.
Cheers!!

... tools are just tools, its the craftsman that makes the difference.
Let me just say, GREAT work on your Dr. Horrible statues! I have been meaning to leave you some comments!
To answer your question, yes, I use the different waxes for that reason. The hard wax is good for faces, or anything detailed, while the softer waxes are great for clothes or hair. Sometimes it just comes down to what I have available at my fingertips.
