Getting Ahead!

The foundry is saving the best for last on the Grambling State College mascot.  I am so glad to see the head finally going into wax.  Of course, this is just the wax, but that means from wax it goes to bronze.  I have heard that all of the many wax pieces will be through the wax department at the foundry very soon.  That is a huge milestone. If you have been following the process you can see that there is a lot of work that goes into the making of a mascot for a university.  The workers at Shidoni Foundry rock!

We still do not know when the tiger will be delivered.

Each half is painted with wax.  Remember that the metal
on a bronze is only as thick as the wax that is painted. 
Once the two halves are painted with wax
they are put together. 
Remember the wax head still needs a pour cup and sprues.  A fangless grin from the tiger. And no ears.  They are made
separately and added later. 
Remember the wax head still needs a pour cup and sprues.  
Inside the brain of a wax tiger.
