I never thought I would be able to do this. I'm not a painter or a sculptor. But for some reason the material was perfect for me and I found it quite easy to shape it the way I liked. So even though it's expensive to have it made in bronze I'm glad I did it.

Instructions

  1. Small 15790

    There's not many instructions. First you need meltable materials to make a frame (for instance copper). Fabric a frame that resembles what you want to make. Start adding the wax in pieces to shape it.

  2. Small 15935

    When you're finished find a professional who can make your statue into a mall and then make a bronze statue of it. The picture is a random one from the internet. Back left the wax statue, in front the mall they made from it and back right the final bronze statue.
