We cast fossils in silicone in the field so they retain the smallest of details that can be saved as casts. Another thing I got from CJ's great flick was how like the process was to building a fiberglass boat except witna thousand percent more detail.
I was really blown away with the flick CJ. I sat here with my coffee early on a SUn AM . Really neat stuff.
This is why Ill always stick with A2K, you never know what someone is gonna come up with and how everyone pitches in to help us learn. I tell ya, that flick was like a CEU in the human form.
I wish I could get my CEUs like this, would make it a hell of a lot more
interesting. Watching the flick, I thought what a shame it was that the
original clay mold was destroyed in the process. He did make a smaller
model with Silicon, but I had not seen any scaling to make the larger
model. Usually that's done with a computer as it's so hard to get the
proportions right on a larger model, but Mueck seems to be a true
genius in his own right, especially being self taught.
