How To Mold and Rotocast a Wooden Sculpture

Step 6: Constructing Casting

The image below demonstrates how the bottom half of the wings and the sides fit together. A 'plug' was created as part of the mold under the wing sections. The finished Smooth Cast® 65D resin casting is hollow yet strong, and is only a fraction of the weight of bronze, plaster or even the wooden original.

This client also commissioned Collier Studios to produce a bronze version of the Eagle sculpture. The wax master used to cast the bronze version was generated from this same mold. The close-up of the bronze casting displays all the detail of the original.
