Day 8: Friday, May 29, 2009
T-minus thirteen days left. A little stressed, given that this isn't the only thing we're working on and more stuff (that we can't talk about) came up this past week to push this project further into spare-time-land. Which would be great if it were possible for a 7-day-week/18-hour-day situation allowed for spare time.
Anyway, Paul got the casts for the chest and thigh wounds done nicely, and he even squeezed off another couple of heads for me to experiment on with paint.
Can't really do anything serious with the heads until Paul can cast one in what's called "hydroshrink" resin. Recall that we made the head too big and it would need to be cast in this material, which shrinks 50% over two weeks. It'll probably be the perfect size in a couple of days and then Paul can make another mold at the correct proportion, and the resulting casts can be painted and assembled with the rest of the figure.
So, with thirteen days left, here's what remains to be done:
• Cast the head in hydroshrink resin, allow a few days for reduction
• Adhere the wound appliances and new hands to the body
• Paint the wounds and hands
• Cut and sew scrubs
• Dress the figure in scrubs, shoes and lab coat
• Cast properly sized head, with MEGO neck plugs
• Paint the head
• Attach the head to the body
• Paint in all surface detail such as blood and gore splatter
• Design the card art
• Print the card
• Insert card and figure in EMCE clamshell
• Do it all over about a dozen times.
Okee dokee. See you next time.
