Thanks. Yes, huge chunk of my life is on this website. Since i started building, this was my most important place because some of my builds are in other hands now and i am left with photos and memories. I am now failing to update it with new projects because my focus was on this platform :)
Yes, the printer is mine. I have 2 of those now. They are not expensive now and very usefull tool for anybody who makes things. I cant inagine my life without them now. It is chinese copy of old makerbot before they started making them in metal. It has small bed but served me well.
If you are familiar in Bronze you are much more advanced than me. I am now correcting one of my female sculpts and when it will be good enough, i want to cast her in bronze to go through the whole process for the first time. Of course the foundry will take care of some of that but i need to provide wax copy. So far i made a lot of casting in resin so I am ready.
I wish you luck in the draw, i want it to be in good company of other toys :)

Oh great to hear you are trying a bronze casting! Be sure to upload a process post, I'd love to see it! I personally love to work with wax.
That's the first bronze I did years ago. And it's the only one I kept. (Because of the handy size) I just had the wax model, and the foundry guys did all the other stuff, like laying the casting channels. :)
It looks great! Protecting your garden :) Do you make sculptures often? I am a bit scared, the foundry is expensive and the figure I am planning to do will have some small details and problem places. I see I also need to prepare wax so it is hollow. So many things can go wrong.
