Meaghan's sculptures (part 2)

19 Apr 2012

We've seen some of Meaghan Arundell's work before (and loved it!), so we were delighted to get some more photos of her more recent creations.

Meaghan colours Plastimake by mixing in acrylic paint, and uses a combination of moulding, carving and joining parts to create these dramatic figures.

These are amazing, what are you using to colour them and shape them?

Are you making individual components and then melding them together?

They are incredibly detailed, what are you using to add detail?

Re: Served

They are coloured with acrylic paint. I massage it through while the plastic is hot, then break it into small pieces so that it easy to re-melt.
Parts are shaped by pressing the hot plastic into silicon moulds - but because it cools and sets quickly, only small moulds will work. I make the components and then heat the edges to stick them together.
I've added detail mostly with a knife, a needle, and my fingers.
It's very easy to burn yourself with, so be careful!

Thanks for replying Meaghan, it sounds like you know what you are doing!

I am starting to think of the possibilities of plastimake in moulding custom models for war games... structures, terrain features, models...

hmmm...
