Comparisons of the head shrinkage. The original was sculpted a little big so I could add more detail. Then I cast that mold with the liquache and DC comp so I could pick the best from the two. Liquache holds more detail and is very smooth compared to the DC comp. I also like the size best. My next step will be to make a mold from this head and use it for the final cast in porcelain.
So close to porcelain!
Remember that the green porcelain will shrink after being demolded, and shrink again when bisque fired.
