Hello Andrew! Great tutorial. I;m going to jump the gun, and ask: How do you remove a sculpture from that DIY stand ? Do you have a video demonstration? Thanks so much!

Oops never mind — I see your reply to the same question below…

Can you give the measurements from the material if I want to make a half size figure? For stand and armature? (I’ll figure it out in cm :)
2yr
I would just figure out the desired high in cm and then divide that by 11.5 and that will give you your cranial unit size. Then you simply follow the measurements of cranial units to build the figure.

Thanks Andrew!
With an armature stand tied to a finished sculpture, how it is detatched?
We never see the armature stands in finished exposed works.

For this one I would make a mold and have the rod coming at the seam of the mold and then fill it once the mold is finished to cast it in another material.

I believe it is cut off with bolt cutters before the piece gets molded to be cast in bronze etc.

I've always thought it would be quite complicated to do a mould of a sculpture which has a 1/2" pipe sticking out from one side, what's the common practice for these cases? I assume that having the armature hang from its head with a wire makes things much simpler for moulding?
- Thanks! 😊

Yes the hanging is easier for mold making. With the rod you have to make it come out at where the seam between two parts of the mold would be.

How dare you use a butterknife to tighten those. I will fake outrage for days! DAYS! ( joke)

You know it still haunts me to this day...
