Out of the Ashes - FINISHED!!! (pics on page 5)

[Queenoftheunifrogs]

ok i had a random stroke of inspiration for this custom and i was totally itching to start it. i finally got hold of a magic star bait and made a start. she is totally packed with tinfoil and i mean packed so that she cant be squished and spoil the sculpting as much. the wire in her tail is twisted into a big knot inside and fastened in place with putty and packed in with tinfoil.
the Phoenix is nowhere near finished just yet as im having to build up the details in layers with it being an air drying putty that only has a certain working time but im so happy with how its looking at the moment. i think this one will be my pride and joy when shes done. her mane is going to be fire and she will have sculpted fire on the legs as well like feathers.
i couldnt decide whether to do a wip or just wait until shes finished to show her so i decided on a sneak peak instead XD

(for those of you waiting for the dolphin pony have patience, im as easily distracted as a kid in a toy shop and i always have loads of stuff im working on at once)

Edit: ok ill post the updates here so that they dont get lost in the other pages

still lots to do but starting to get somewhere now

EDIT again
