Toys: The Maggot King of Tarf and Rude Maggot!

Meet Rude Maggot and The Maggot King of Tarf!
I've been thinking about this pair of toy figures for a long time. After I model them in clay I will cast them in resin.

These larval friends will be sculpted from sulphur-free Roma Plastilia. Sulphur would cause trouble in the mold-making process. I plan to use Plat-Sil 73-20 for the molds and I'm going to make the toys from EasyFlo 60 resin.
The Maggot King of Tarf will be gold, as any larval Regent should be! I'll be using Pearl Ex Aztec Gold pigment in the resin for that effect.
Rude Maggot is a dark character and I'm going to be using BITY bronze powder in his resin. He's got a lovely purge fluid puddle at his base, and I'm either going to paint the bases or do them separately in dark red Apoxie Sculpt.

Soapstone carved and polished... the pretty stage- the first part of a more "sinister" project.

An idea for a gift drawn in 53 Paper on my Ipad. I thought I would experiment at 1/2 scale.

Cutting-out the plant area that will hold the lovely manscaped verge.
I think it'll do fine...now I'll double the size, and scuplt it in red clay.
