i hould be able to start sculpting it this week and start fibre glassing next week. (hopefully)
using the hot wire loop tool i carved out shapes in the birds, the round hole in the middle is for the pressure gauge i bought, im going to extend the tails of the birds by attaching longer tails onto the bit ive carved off the tails. then the rest is just smoothing off corners and making the head round
continued with the foam model, whilst using the hot wire to round off corners and create the birds profile shape, i realised the ack of the bird looked much better than the front, so i flipped them both over and switched sides.
glued the pieces together and added the tail feathers and the wing extensions. i like the look of it, but im still unsure as to how im going to detail the birds, i dont want too much detail and simple birds would just look rubbish, i think feahter detail, eyes and the beak would be fine.im going to neaten this model up by filling the gaps with either clay or car body filler, then maybe applying some colour to it with paint probably. il use emulsion or acrylic as its cheap and wont affect the foam.
