After finishing the tail in plaster it was time to get on with the largest area, and what I hoped would be the easier section, the large flat sides of the Bustard.
Using slightly larger pieces of the modroc bandage I make my way across one of the sides, working quickly to try and get the smoothest result…
I turn the Bustard sculpture gently onto it’s side so that I can see both the bottom and the top, to try not to leave any nasty bits of unsmoothed bandage where I can’t quite reach. It is pretty tricky as the benches are high, and the Bustard is big, even on it’s side and after taking all morning to cover it I have left a couple of dodgy edges where you can clearly see the bandage.
The ridges of the modroc itself are also still showing through and the occasional tiny ball of polystyrene is still managing to wreck any chances I have of a smooth finish. (images are hard to take in the plaster room because of the fluorescent lighting, so apologies for the stripy photos!)
One extra morning used up…
The next morning I get, it’s onto the other side, I try and randomise the layering of the modroc as much as is possible, but I’m still not able to smooth it as much as I’d hoped and the little pieces of modroc string falling off coupled with polystyrene bits in the mix are driving me crazy!
But I get the other side done and the underneath covered.
Time is up, but my Bustard sculpture is fully plastered!
It’s looking really nice coated in plaster, but I will be unable to present it in this state, so I will need to continue longer than I had hoped, on trying to get a more polished finish.

That looks great, how big is it? 1:1?

It was based on 1:1 but I think it looks a lot bigger… But they were over a metre tall!
