John Wayne

Completed a repair for a customer on John Wayne's bust from the USA, cast in plaster of paris. I pinned and glued the exposed plaster all along the break and secured them in with glue. I then hand formed the missing brim of his hat using air drying clay and pressed it onto the broken edge, securely fixing it around the pins.I sculpted the Das a little larger to allow for shrinkage. When the Das was completely dry, I sanded and finished it.
