Artist's Comments

Here is the process for making the Bronze Samus.

1. Wax Samus is casted/sculpted. Then she is gated (pour spout and air vents) up.
2. Same for the Base
3. A thin mix of plaster and sand is sprayed on to the piece to ensure maximum detail.
4. (Not shown) Sprayed pieces are then placed into cylinder mold (investment) made of chicken wire and tar paper. Thicker mix of plaster and sand is then poured/filled into the mold .
5. (Not shown) Investments are placed into the kiln for wax burn out.
6. Investments are placed in the sand pit and bronze is poured in.
7. Investments are broken apart to reveal your Pride and Joy :)
8. (Not shown) Extra air vents and pour spouts are cut off... and this is what you get [link]

It's solid bronze. No armature inside. There is a threaded rod in the foot, being held onto the base by a 1/4" nut.
