THE MAKING OF VARGAS - 2009

The Dragon's head is laid on its side, and a dam built to divide the remainder in half. Because the fins on the back of the Dragon's head would become impossible undercuts, separate pieces of the mold are created for them as well. When complete, this mold will separate into 5 parts, which are then reassembled inside another silicone sleeve with masonite walls to hold the entire structure in registration while the new heads are cast.

Another shot of the head with a dam in place.

The walls are put up around the head to hold the liquid rubber as it cures around the head. This mold will be revisited later.

The molds are begun for the Dragon's wings. Here a dam is put in place to divide the wing into two halves.
