moulding the top lip


i started by creating a wall surrounding the top lip using masking tape, using the same method as in the Neill Gorton dvds. i then used alginate to make a mould of the top lip and surrounding area. once the alginate had set i made a plaster casting of the top lip which i cleaned up and removed any imperfections, I then made a mould of the plaster cast using silicone,

I then made a cast in fast cast onto which I then sculpted the top lip, drilled some locating holes and covered the rest of the cast in a layer of chavant, this will be the area of flashing.

I then moulded the other half of the mould using fast cast.
