Terry,

What material did you cut it out of? Was it MDF?
Thanks

[tkovacs]

Foam - the blue stuff - EPS I believe.

Terry

They are very nice...

That looks like an old bronze piece. I bet people are surprised when they pic it up to find out its lightweight foam and not heavy copper or brass. Very nice.

Thanks Nils.
Jack - You are right - I am still surprised!
Sculpt Nouveau is good stuff.

Terry,
Very nice work. Looks great!

Terry, what did you use to prepare the surface? one of the sculpt nouveau primers? if so which one? their site seems to assume that you will be starting with a metal substrate.

Chris,
I used two coats of Zinzer water based sealer but I am not certain that it was necessary. I am anxious to try this again with another piece and I will probably use MDF.

Hi Terry!

Just noticed this post of yours. FYI to others, I had Terry make this up for me and I must say, it was a pleasure working with you, very professional and responsive.

BTW, client really liked the model. Now if only I can do that!

Good job,

Rudy
