Clay master complete!

Friday night: build the shape...

Saturday: add features...

Sunday: smooth out features and refine...

TIP: Although you need to make your master approx 10% bigger than the final, I suggest adding extra to the height when using clay as it kinda compacts and shrinks as you work with it. This is true for the 1st and 2nd day. By the 3rd it has dried enough not to do this.

Next stage, silicon mold creation.
