The 2005 Ellinor Mustang Prototype
The sculpting process began directly on a brand new 2005 Mustang. To quickly get volume to the sculpt we use a special mix of foam and styrofoam. When this mix has hardened we sand it down to the shape we want and then apply plaster that will provide us with a smooth enough surface after sanding it so it's ready for the paintjob.
After the sculpt is completed and painted it's time to make moulds from it. The moulding process starts with figuring out where to split the mould so you can take it apart. The front section, for instance, consists of 7 parts. For each seam a plane has to be in place to be able to assemble the entire mould.
Once the mould is done it has to be prepared for casting which involves covering up the seams with special clay and then wax it enough so that the mould won't get stuck to the body surface.
