Well, I have been helping my son add some details to his Pinewood Car for Boy Scouts. He chose to make the car like his favorite game for XBox....Epic Mickey Mouse.
I made him responsible for shaping and painting the car, and I focused on the carving/sculptural elements. I carved the lower body of Mickey Mouse and then sculpted the upper body and Head seperately using a clay compound that hardens like rock. The only problem I am running in to, is that the clay in very heavy. I have really had to pay attention to the weight. Pinewood derby cars can not weigh more than 5 ounces. I will try to publish pictures when I am finished.
Woodcarving, Painting, and Sculpture. I love all aspects of Art and I am constantly learning.
About Me
- Tom Philipps
- I love all kinds of art. There are so many mediums to I have yet to explore and I find each one challenging and rewarding. I wish I had more time for it all. My family and job keep me busy, but I try to set aside time when I can, not only for the simple enjoyment, but also to continue to develop as an artist. I have two boys who are nearing college, and I try to spend as much time with them as I can. They are the most important thing in my life. I also love nature and the outdoors, I can often be found fishing, hunting, or just hanging out in the beautiful outdoors that God has given us.
