plaster master

the legs will be vacuum formed plastic assembled over an armature. these
 master shapes are foam covered in plaster that will be
carved down to the right shape than vacuformed over.
i used to use foam with a thin layer of spackle as surface to vac over but
 the hot plastic sheet would always warp some part of the foam.
this has 1/8th to 1/4 inch of plaster. warp these(gestures towards crotch). i
also found using a jig saw with blade removed shakes the air right out if
applied to the bottom of your mixing container. i think it set up faster too.
