Nu Wa Head

Nu Wa 1

 

I have begun to cast another of my PKKing resin kit models, Nu Wa. This casting is as significant as my previous Baphomet sculpture and Yan Wu sculpture, both also created by PKKing. These also go with my Sturgeon King resin model that I created in 2011when I purchased all my other PKKing kits.Nu Wa […]

Baphomet

Baphomet 3

 

I am now finishing the base to my Baphomet sculpture. With Covid-19 my shipping costs have increased and it has taken some time to order and receive the bronze casting grain and brazing solder that I required for this stage of the work. The wax models were much too big to cast as a whole […]

Baphomet

Baphomet 2

 

Baphomet is a devil type god once worshiped by the Knights Templar. He is a bit scary. The god is a winged human figure with the head and feet of a goat.In the picture below I am attaching one part of his tail to his body. The pine cones are not related.I also had to […]

I have been remiss in posting new work. This WIP for Baphomet is lengthy as it encompasses about 6 months of work.In March 2021 I began to cast another PKKing sculpture “Baphomet” that I purchased in 2012.

Yan Wu

Yan Wu 4

 

Some of the remaining ribbon parts that attach to the base have been cast. After about 6 months of contemplation I have finally decided to cast the base of this sculpture in bronze. I made urethane rubber moulds of the clear resin parts so as to replicate them in wax. Everything except for the large […]

Yan Wu

Yan Wu 3

 

Now that I have cast the main body for Yan Wu it is time to create the flowing ribbons that descend from the back of the figure.These parts are large. I struggled to decide how to economically mould and cast these pieces. I considered sand casting but in the end I decided to mould the […]

Yan Wu

Yan Wu 1

 

I find that I now want to do sculptures of far more substance and complexity. My work is changing. I do not expect to cast superheros or other such bronze in the future.I am now starting a new sculpture based on Yan Wu by PKKing. This work should be a spectacular bronze piece. According to […]
