Wax Castings

So here's the horns all cast!


You can see where they pulled a little bit of plaster out of the inside of the mold, so that means I didn't put enough mold release in before I poured them, but that should come off without much problem!  I also will need to clean up the parting line, since the texture gets interrupted.


I think I got the thickness about right!  I wanted them thick enough that they weren't going to fall apart, but thin enough that they were still very translucent.


Both pairs!  They still need cleaning up, and I haven't cut off the pour holes yet so they'll be shorter than this, but they're shaping up!  I'm trying to decide how to paint them so that they keep their translucency?
