thanks for the comment, its not the best model, but I tried, man wait till you see Laurens, HOly crap it will blow you away,

although on a side note, heres a help ful tip if yalll havent started you maqueettes.

For the Wire frame use a Clothes Hanger Wire, you can jack some for Comet or Pilgram cleaners. and pliers to bend to the desired shape.

Your base can be all clay (or whatever) but once you get to the upper portion I would reccommend you cover the wire with foil, even if the part of the body is small. or sticks out, or doesnt require a lot of volume, because the less clay you have on a slick surface the more likely it will be easy to twist off. But if you have at least a layer or a couple layers of foil on the wire surface, it makes easier for the clay to hold onto cause of the rugged surface.
