I know I mentioned this before on here but here are photos my dad took of his process in sculpting some of the Power Lords.
Hope you dudes enjoy them:
He sent notes on the process along with the pic:
Process for all
- Sculpt rough 2:1 clay figure in moldable parts
- Create rubber molds & cast parts in tracing epoxy
- Set up jigs for epoxy castings to pantograph down to 1:1 size in acetate
- Pantograph in sections for production casting in 2 part steel injection molds
- Machine all acetate pieces for figure articulation
- Add final details to acetate masters with scrapers & engravers
- Smooth & final polish all pieces with glass brushes & pumice
- Assemble & check for moldability & smooth figure action
Sydot 2:1 clay - 7 parts
Disguyzor - Disassembled 1:1 acetate - 30 parts
Disguyzor - Final 1:1 assembled acetate master
Bakatak - 2:1 clay - 8 parts
Bakatak - Final 1:1 assembled acetate master - 19 parts
Used 30 year old, no longer available, colored acetate
Adam Power - 2:1 rough clay - 6 parts
Revell insisted on thin face - told them it would shrink in casting & be too thin
I was overruled by Barlow & final figure looked like a skinny wimp
Adam Power / Power Lord - 1:1 assembled acetate master - 17 parts
