In the original King Kong film the Skull Island wall has an ornamental carving over both the village and jungle sides of the gates. To recreate this for the miniature wall I rolled out a section of Super Sculpey polymer clay.I then carved the design into the clay. After texturing the clay and adding some cracks I made a one piece latex rubber mold. From this mold I was able to cast two identical plaques.
Here is a photo of the finished plaque mounted on the wall.

hey Brian, thanks for the comment on my blog. I like Procreate a lot and to keep it from sticking, I use Oderless Paint Thinner as a lubricant for my tools. You can find that at any craft store :)
ReplyDeleteI'm really impressed with your moldmaking. I hope to get into that in the future!
