The plastering as fair as I know was a success, was very straight forward with adding 2 or so layers of plaster and then adding a material called scrim, which is a net robe like material. I believe this helps to strength and add a layered structure to the cast. I did another 3 or so layers of this and then made two flattened points that will act as leg’s out of plaster and scrim to balance it when holding the cast, the right way up. The only thing I will have to wait and see if there where any air bubbles that have survived in the cast. As air bubbles in the plaster could ruin some of the detail, but I will first need to remove the board by unscrewing in the back. Then I will begin the long and delicate processes of removing and carving out the clay without damaging the mold. Only after that will I be able to properly inspect the mold and weather it has come out ok.
