The Great Collaboration - Part V

We have filled the mold for the body of the creature with molten gel wax. The melting point of the gel wax is slightly lower than the melting point of the bees wax & candle wax mixture and therefore wont melt the white wax. Now that the mold is released slight roughness on the gel-wax will be carefully smoothed using a blow torch flame.
