Finished Maquette - Mail Man

Here are a some turn around images of the finished Mail Man maquette.
There are a few details missing from the sculpt but over all I'm pleased with the with the way it has turned out. Using these images I can now start working on colouring the character digitally to see what works best.
Nathan has also been finished working on a maquette of the Actress character. Here is a shot of the two sculpts side by side for a scale comparison.

    what kind of clay did you use to create these sculptures?

    I've been reading your blog as I am about to dive into my own first stopmo film and am trying to learn as much as possible about different peoples work flows.

    Thanks,
    Bill

    Hi Bill

    I used Newplast plasticine for these sculptures.
    It's a soft, non-drying modelling clay which is good for roughing out quick sculpts/maquettes.

    It's also very good for animating with if you're building a plasticine puppet.

    If you want your sculpt to be a bit firmer for sharper details, or if you plan on molding your sculpt, I would recommend using plastiline (note the 'l' not a 'c'), which you can buy in different levels of firmness.
    e.g Chavant NSP

    Hope this helps, and good luck with your film.

    All the best,
