I wanted to share this with the third gen community....but I didnt know where to post this. I'm an airbrush artist by trade, but I thought I'd try out my carving skills and I carved this little car out of clay, and then painted it with glazes. I had access to a kiln, so I couldn't think of anything cooler to make. It was a huge pain in the butt! It's about the size of a model car
I had my Mom's car, a 1968 Jag commissioned in clay, presenting it to her 50 years after she bought it (she still had the cancelled check for the car). She was in tears.
Nice work. Put a plug in the underside and your ashes can rest in there.

Mostly statuettes and relief sculptures of Iron Maiden & Danzig type stuff.
(Danzig stuff)
I wasn't happy with the finish here. I was going for a bronze-ish finish, but this glaze turned out more like a gun metal color. And I didnt actually think the red glaze was going show up.

That’s awesome.. looks cool with the frame and everything too..
That is some nice sculpting work gents. I have some graphic art experience but need a computer to make it happen. I am also a big Maiden fan and designed a couple of concert shirts back in the day.I did these for my group of friends that went to a few shows together back in the day I had the honor to meet Nicko McBrain in my shop a year ago as I did some work for his BBQ joint. What a nice down to earth person.

^^ Awesome ^^
You'd be hard pressed to find better rock musicians than Iron Maiden. Steve Harris has "best bassist" locked up for sure. Nicko McBrain is right up there on drums.
I discovered my natural talent for clay sculpture in high school. In high school, I had numerous sculptures and things that I made. Probably my favorite (and largest) piece was a 3D replica of the Powerslave {Egyptian Temple} album cover. Unfortunately, all that stuff was lost to the elements when I left home.
Cool stuff guys. I also did some sculpting back in high school. I'm not sure why I never did any cars.....I always drew them in art class???? Anywho I did make an "Eddie" bust that I still have!
