Hey everyone,


I'm just getting my feet wet with sculpting a set of gauntlets out of clay, and I'm looking for suggestions on the best way to go from there. It's also important that I can somehow preserve my original work in case I need to make another set down the road.


For example, do I.....


1. sculpt the gauntlets

2. make a plaster mold of the gauntlets

3. make a positive casting of the gauntlets in plaster

4. vacuum-form plastic over the plaster casting

5. put the mold away for safe-keeping


Is this the best way to go? I was just curious about how those of you who make these things from scratch go about reproducing them from start to finish.
