I am sculpting some zombie clowns for metal casting. They will be based on my first Mad Clown sculpts, Evil Clown, Sad Clown and Pie Clown. Here are the basic armatures:  You can see the original sculpts in the WIP section of on Facebook. |

Count me in! Top idea and I hope for some rotten design. Maybe you can "enhance" them doing some evil equipment, like rotten playthings, a bucket full of inestines in one hand or stuff like that. These clowns will definitly the ones not to be laught of!!

Thanks for the nice comments guys! Hope you like this project as it progresses :-) Here is the progress on zombie #1, based upon my first ever Mad Clown sculpt, "Evil Clown". This baseball bat wielding clown was originally sculpted for a minisculpture.co.uk sculptalong along the theme of circus freaks. So, here is the original:  ...and here is his zombie incarnation:  I sculpted the shoes yesterday, using vegetable oil as a lubricant. Today however I bought some Vaseline during the weekly food shop! Tonight was the turn of the legs and torso. There are some nice details such as tears and bullet holes in the clothing. These will be easier to make out once I have washed the sculpt! I recently backed the Kickstarter by Fire For Effect Studios. Today I received my first sculpting lesson! It has been really great to get a few pointers and just to watch somebody else sculpting. There are currently just a small number of lessons available but once they are established I would thoroughly recommend you check them out: |

Hehe, I would love to see some inestines coming out and saying Hello!
Looks fab till now (from the three mini figures a top, my favorite is the right guy because of the cake and the super evil grin!)

As you can see, my first zombie clown is now posed and has his baseball bat weapon in place:  ...intestines will certainly be coming on a future model! |

Progress so far. I've been making a turn to Green Stuff: as much as I love the crisper detail I can achieve with the Procreate it's just not sticky enough.  |

Hehe, the three Stooges! Joke aside, they are fabulous, your figures. Really love all those tiny details you do (time to write an how to, I think!). More please!

Cheers! For what it's worth I intend to write a "how to" on sculpting clown collars, lol! Progress is slow, but I am nearly there! These sculpts are starting to drag on a little. I'm now keen to get these finished so I can start something new!  |

...and, done! Three zombie clowns, complete and ready for casting:  I'm quite pleased with the zip detail on the back of the mask:  Here are a few more snaps showing each zombie clown alongside its original character:  "Evil" Clown was my first Mad Clown sculpt. On the left is a primed resin cast.  Pie Clown was my first resin release and is now out of production. Here you can see the original sculpt on the left and my final remaining resin cast in the middle. This character wears an oversized mask. His zombie version is missing a hand following a nasty incident with a biter.  Sad Clown was a subsequent resin release, also now out of production. On the left you can see what remains of the original sculpt! He didn't survive the casting process intact! In the middle is my final remaining resin cast. Note that the original character holds an accordion, which was cast as a separate component. I'm really excited about seeing the casts. Hopefully I should have the first metal casts in a few weeks! |

Hey guys, I currently have 15 sets of these metal casts (I received 20 sets today!). If anybody fancies one either send me a PM or email madclownminiatures at hotmail.co.uk. Hurrah!
I wouldn't mind sculpting another, with a chainsaw!

Perfect castings! If you will do one with a buzzsaw, do not forget a swan-to-pieces enemy on the floor, harhar! And now for some painted ones?
