This project started, then I ran into some issues with the wings, so it got shelved for the time being. The stablemate you see at the right will eventually become a Pegasus. I had planned on the wings being molded from a plastic wing I had saved from a broken pegasus toy my daughter no longer played with. My goal was to recast the plastic wing into resin to use on this model. The wing was the perfect shape, scale, and curvature to use. The problem with using the toy wing to mold from is the curvature of it created undercuts I didn't originally see. The molding material I was using wasn't working for me at all, and using polymer clay didn't work either. This is still a project I want to finish, but only when I can order the correct silicone molding and casting materials to do so. |   |
