Hey, yo!
I started a Rodan (the pterodactyl like kaiju) sculpt! I thought I would post a fairly early WIP before I covered up the armature completely. It will be sort of my own concept, not necessarly trying to follow any particular incarnation from a movie. But I hope he looks bad@$$ when I am done!
So far, just wire mesh and clothes hanger wire, and Super Sculpy.
He will be snatching up a breaching humpback whale from the ocean, and capsizing a Japanese fishing boat..you know, stuff kaiju like to do everyday...;)
Thanks for taking the time to look!

Ah Ha! A Mystery solved! While I have been working with super sculpey myself over the years and love the material, I could never really figure out a practical way to sculpt wings or capes and have them be thin and animated, and to be able to hold their shapes while being baked, and not be just floppy and awkward. May I ask where that mesh material can be found and details about it? ? I'd really like to go buy some and try it out.

I've alawys wanted to sculpt my own batman figures and or be able to decently modify my Aurora/Revell Batman kits with a largermore flowing cape. And this would do it beautifully! :) This pic is priceless!

Good luck with your tkae on Rodan! :D I think it'll be great to see finished.

I got it at Micheals. I was looking for it for a while, and found it with the clay / sculpting supplies. It is called Activ-Wire Mesh, from Activa.

Oh sweet! I have a Micheals just down the street here from me. I am in there quite a bit and even in the sculpting section. I wonder why I did't notice it? ....probably because I wasn't looking for it and didn't even know to look for it there. I'll be in hunting mode now though. :D Thanks so much for this tip and info!!! :D

Oh no, not a whale!

Looking forward to seeing a wholly from-scratch sculpt from you! Though you may want to try to steady that single support before you get too far along. Once you start loading the clay on it'll get real heavy real fast, and one piece of wire doesn't look like it'd support a critter that huge. Probably a big blob of epoxy putty would be your best bet.
