norajean_sf: This is what I'm fixing to do right now, if there are any questions about aluminum foil armatures ask them now when I'm looking at the monitor. If we can hold OT chat to breaks at the half hour and top of the hour questions can be asked and answered. Thanks
posey4u: NJ what is the name of the figure in the web cam
mona_77082: I have a question
mona_77082: Do you roll the armatures smooth, or simply twist the aluminum foil?
norajean_sf: That's the aba-fold lady, http://www.norajean.com/New_Projects/AbaFoldLady/Index.htm
posey4u: I really like her too
norajean_sf: Mona, I compress the foil, twisting only for the torso, the rest is just compressed tightly.
posey4u: thx for the link
mona_77082: ok Thanks!
icare4bunnies: do you have problems with air bubbles?
icare4bunnies: air expanding in the foil?
norajean_sf: After the aluminum foil is compressed, I cover it with clay and compress as I cover, I've not had problems with air bubbles.
norajean_sf: and I've done dozens of figures with this technique.
norajean_sf: so far, so good
mommaclara2001: They look so great to NJ.
icare4bunnies: as I said before, I've been fighting cracks from time to time, even with conditioned clay and I so I had to ask
norajean_sf: if there's no other questions on this technique I'll make an armature. If you have questions as I go along, save them to when I begin typing or I'll miss them. Ok?
mona_77082: OK!
icare4bunnies: k
spksgntly2: ok
norajean_sf: Cracks can come from not conditioning, and also from not curing at a high enough temperature or for long enough
norajean_sf: Ok, new folks
icare4bunnies: I've certainly conditioned
norajean_sf: Yahoo will boot you out of this conference now and again.
norajean_sf: we've lost a couple of people just now.
norajean_sf: when that happens log back in and send one of us a IM for an invite to conference. Add someone to your Friend's list who is here because I might not see your IM during demo.

spksgntly2: ok
raven_hill_wench: hey! I got my name to change! lol
norajean_sf: now for the head, compress one half sheet to form a skull shape, keep it in proportion to the body, roll it hard on the work surface to shape, then cover with the other half sheet and attach to the body.
raven_hill_wench: are you being detailed in the head shape or just making it a head with no face for now?
norajean_sf: that didn't work, I'll do another one. LOL
icare4bunnies: how do you attach?
mommaclara2001: She will show you Jael. Watch:)
icare4bunnies: yup
spksgntly2: just like an egg sgape?
norajean_sf: that's a little better, now using one half sheet I'll cover this skull
norajean_sf: skull shape more like
raven_hill_wench: kind of a squared egg
norajean_sf: remember the spine/neck bones are towards the back of the skull, the front of the skull should have a chin shape.
spksgntly2: ok
icare4bunnies: Ah, wrapping with a sheet of foil, I see
norajean_sf: now to take that fanned out part and use that to attach to the body
chenoa_2b: looks like a space alien. lol
norajean_sf: questions?
spksgntly2: how tall will it be?
norajean_sf: let's measure
mommaclara2001: Yes, will you put your hand down beside him, so that we can tell whayt size he is?
raven_hill_wench: I guess 5 inches
posey4u: how do you know the size of sheets of foil you should use
norajean_sf: she's a bit tall for a girl, 6 foot in one inch scale, we can shorten her at this point if we wish
mommaclara2001: Just about the size of you hand. Which I am sure is small.
spksgntly2: ok so smaller then a barbie doll
mona_77082: looks more like about 7 inches
norajean_sf: bend the feet and she's 6 inches, if you want smaller bodies, cut off some of the sheet
raven_hill_wench: I know 6 foot tall girls
norajean_sf: let me show you something, this aluminum foil armature works in micro mini scale
raven_hill_wench: micro mini?
spksgntly2: do you just chop her legs or do you have to do the torso to?
mona_77082: So this figure is just right for a guy and go shorter for a girl then!
norajean_sf: Sculpt/LiL-Man/Thms
norajean_sf: Sculpt/LiL-Man/NewBody/001-thms  same technique, aluminum armature, micro mini scale
mona_77082: wow! Those are tiny little people!
raven_hill_wench: a pile of people
raven_hill_wench: how cute
norajean_sf: same basic technique
icare4bunnies: oh, dear
norajean_sf: so adjust the size of the foil to fit the scale of body you want
norajean_sf: Sculpt/LiL-Man/NewBody/002-thms
icare4bunnies: I have to go, I'll try this one soon. When will the logs be up, nj?

mona_77082: Being new to all of this I have to ask, what about the clay veneer that goes on this chasie?
norajean_sf: http://www.norajean.com/DemoStuff/01-13to15-06-FaceSculpting/Index.htm
norajean_sf: I'll be covering the armature I just made after the top of the hour
chenoa_2b: Does it work like the 1/12 scale?
norajean_sf: I'll take questions now, and then save log, take a break so folks can chat, do biologicals, etc.
norajean_sf: Cut the sheets of aluminum foil to half the size
norajean_sf: same technique, just less foil, less clay
norajean_sf: I got it down to 1/76th scale for Lil Man
raven_hill_wench: wow
chenoa_2b: Ah but NJ can do anything!
norajean_sf: Sculpt/LiL-Man/001
