20 Wax Figures, Soon to be in Bronze!

I modeled all of these figures directly in microcrystalene wax, no mold making was used. I have battled all summer trying to keep them from melting/falling over. Any supports will be removed once the figure is cast in bronze. The Bronze pour is probably going to happen on Monday and then I will clean up the castes, try some different chemicals to get different patina's and then mount them on marble or wood bases. I will try to get a video of the bronze pour on Monday(UPDATE: CASTING IS HAPPENING THURSDAY WILL UPDATE AFTERWORDS) to give everyone an idea of what it is like. Please, if you like what I am doing support my trip to Italy by clicking donate at the bottom of the page, thanks so much! Assuming all of these come out in bronze, anyone who donates $250 or more will receive a sculpture of his or her choice(ask for availability).
