Iron Guard Study

This was supposed to be just a helmet, designed to test the abilities of bronze powder and resin casting. As usual though, it kept going until it became the hulking behemoth you see here. The original sculpture was pretty heavy, the bronze one is excessive even for a paperweight.

According to Mark Oakley, the armor of the guards is a somewhat personalized thing. Each guardsman's armor is slightly different, yet still similar enough not to stand out.

Makes my job easier:)

As you can see, much of the trim broke off in the mold. I made the mistake of thinking I wouldn't have to bake the Sculpey I worked into the cracks, hoping to avoid the rubbery mold oozing into them. My bad, the mold ravaged it nonetheless.
