Audrey II Lifesize Replica
THE MAN-EATER!!
Who cannot resist the lovely charm of Audrey II? Certainly not us! This wonderful replica was sculpted in WED clay in closed-mouth form initially, then cast in rtv rubber, molded in plastic, split apart, then the sculpting continued for the inner mouth and tongue. Enjoy!
UPDATE 2019!: THE SUPER DELUXE OPEN MOUTH KIT NOW INCLUDES A NEW PART! The inner mouth tendrils. The inner mouth guts/tendrils are cast in a rubberized resin. It feels like silicon and has all the life-like transluscent etheral qualities of silicon, but it can be glued without any issues to resin and latex parts!
BE SURE TO SEE THE NEW INNER MOUTH TENDRIL VIDEO TUTORIAL!
**PLEASE UNDERSTAND these items are only available in KIT FORMAT. I do not provide these as finished items. See the pics below that show you what the 'kit' looks like. All parts are untrimmed, unpainted, unassembled. Pots and folliage is not included.
I make THREE versions of the man-eating plant! 1.) the baby 2.) Jumbo CLOSED mouth 3.) Jumbo OPEN MOUTH.

DELUXE OPEN MOUTH BUILDUP:
This particular buildup (seen below) is made using the 2017 new INNER MOUTH TENDRIL part.
Shout out to Mireles Design and Chuck Westfield for helping paint and assemble this monster.
Replica: I start by creating foam armatures, then coated them in urethane, then a hardshell of sculpey baked to a stone hard consistency.
Now it's time to begin sculpting in a wax based clay. We decided to UPSIZE the stage 2 Audrey and give it some characteristics of the stage IV Audrey. (i.e. teeth, purple interior mouth, etc...)
This sculpture was then molded in RTV rubber, a resin shell was cast, then split at the mouth line to be able to continue sculpting an interior. This hard copy also allowed me to create a built-in mount system to the stem.
Blocking in the shapes for the inner mouth...
Final sculpt on the upper and lower palets, tongue and stem.
First test assembly (resin castings) on the OPEN MOUTH Version.
