Today was my day that I finally sat down and cleaned up the excess metal off of my slugs and got them nice and pretty for the final product of this project. I had also popped the little lads into the sandblaster after I was finished with the grinder to give them a nice matte finish.

I made the executive decision to make more slugs out of different types of clay to add more variation of materials within my finished piece. The slugs are loosely based on real species of nudibranchs.
With the resin sand molds finally being fully cured from last class, I went ahead and prepped for today's aluminum pour. This mainly consisted of some minor cleanup and removing excess sand from the mold before having a graphite/denatured alcohol mixture brushed on.
Towards the end of the class we did a quick pour with enough time to pop out my lads from the mold. While the pieces didn't come out exactly like the clay models, I'm still happy with my final results. Project 3 has started up, and not gonna lie but I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing for the project itself. Here's some nudibranchs getting prepped to be part of a sand resin mold.
I was definitely a bad noodle in making sure my website was updated for the trophy project for class. My bad, everyone. To make up for it here's a dump of all of my WIP images for the project as I continue to update the page for the final product.
