Sculpting Magnet fitting

Jan 30, 2019

    1. I could really do with some advice on getting the magnets to line up. How do you do this so neatly?

      A couple of my heads would be ready for test casts if I could figure out how to neaten up the magnet holding parts.
       
    2. I mostly just make the holes on one part and use them as guide for the second part. You can do this while the clay is still soft and just press the second part against the first and let the holes mark themselves. You could also rub a pencil on the edges of the hole and let that transfer when the parts are put together.

      If you rather drill the holes after casting you only need to line up some kind of guide hole or spot to mark the center of the holes. You can probably get away with just mesureing it out.

    3. Thanks for the advice! ^_^ Maybe it’s just something I need to practices little to get it neat!
