First sculpt on pirate ship

It is a bit early to begin the sculpting on the Vala’s Pumpkin Patch pirate ship, but after a week of welding the armature and tying on the lath, we opted to do something a little more fun. The first bit of sculpting is critical as it sets the tone and style for the rest of the project. We were looking to create a wooden skull as the ship’s figurehead - a super fun piece befitting Cap’n Elias’s ship. Matt did the awesome woodgrain. We decided to make one tooth of gold, complete with a rivet to hold it in place. Our painting crew is excited to paint this fun piece. Stay tuned…
