Ceramics / Wax Prototypes

The first material that was tested in the molds was wax. Unfortunately because of the structures of the whales, the material when set is hard to take out of the mold, and their tales broke off. Jesmonite was used next, but the tails also broke off again.

In the next cast, the form will be cut out of the mold which will avoid breakage, but it makes it harder to use the cast again.
