Hello everybody,
This is my first post outside the welcome thread and I thought I should start with my current project. I'm doing Volpin's Force a Nature scaled down to 85%
If all goes well, I'll cast this up once it's done, but that's a little ways down the road :)
The first cut. Done with a scroll saw on MDF. I switched later to using PVC board and a sharp knife because that's what I'm used to.

Bulked out the shapes pvc board and filled some of the gaps with expanding foam. Then I shaved and sanded the foam to fit.

Filled out the rest of the gaps with more foam and here I'm coating the foam with wood glue to increase it's durability.
