At this stage of Molly's sculpt, Lester and Erick really cleaned her up by transferring their sculpting from Sculpey to Wax and refining all the details through melting and shaping the wax. Wax is great for making things super clean and tight. But there's always a loss in crucial nuances when transferring the sculpt from Sculpey to Wax.

When going from Sculpey to Wax a silicon mold is made to capture the shape of the sculpey form. Once that cools down, liquid wax is poured into the silicone mold and, once it cools and hardens you have a wax recreation of the original sculpey figure. Unfortunately when making the silicone molds, you see anywhere from a 3-5% shrinkage in the shape of the figure... and depending on how the silicone reacts to cooling down, the finer details of the figure and subtle shapes are lost.

We were very disappointed with how the figure looked at this stage. The figure looks very stiff and blocky. The face looked like a puppet instead of a living, breathing being. The posture came across as clunky and stiff (especially from the front). The wrinkles at the knees had a very unnatural sharp edge. The gloves looked super heavy. Even at this stage there were a lot of things to address.

Check back next Tuesday to see how the Sosa Bros. tackled the various problems.
