Step 1: Collect materials.

Find a picture of this work in different directions, and then make 1: 1 mud, which provides a solid foundation for stereotypes. Enlarge the stereotyped clay sculpture in the same proportion as the reference manuscript, then modify it until the work is completely consistent with the reference material, and then copy the mold. The scheme of copying the mold is determined according to the complexity of the work. Simple works can be copied with plaster, while more complicated works can be copied with silica gel. After the mold is turned over, pour the melted paraffin into the gypsum mold or silica gel mold. After the paraffin is cooled, the mold is removed and the wax-like work is formed. This step is called wax casting.

Step 2: Shell making.

Shell-making also adopts two schemes. For small parts or complex parts, we should choose precision casting. The so-called precision manufacturing is to wrap the wax mold with exquisite quartz sand layer by layer, and then burn the paraffin in the shell at high temperature. Simple works, such as plane relief, big copper coins, the back of bronze Buddha statues, etc. There is not too complicated process smoothness, so "resin sand box making" can be used.

Step 3: casting

At high temperature, copper bars or ingots are melted into molten copper and poured into finished shells or sand boxes. After the molten copper cools, remove the shell, clean and polish the riser, and then put the polished copper carvings together. You can see a rough copper sculpture at this moment.

Step 4: Color

Next, we began to clean the weld and treat the welded part of the spliced bronze sculpture as mud. Then the surface is colored. The coloring of bronze sculpture depends on the customer's requirements, mainly because the bronze sculpture reflects what period. If it is ancient, it is generally suitable for bronze, and modern is suitable for bronze. Of course, there are many modern sculptures, some of which are gilded, gilded and painted.

Step 5: Oil and wax.
