After choosing a cement animal statue model, the artisan will proceed to the step of shaping the product.
Step 2: Create the statue frame
First, the artisans will create an iron mold for the statue they want to build. In this molding step, the artisan uses iron and zinc wire to connect together to create the shape of the statue.
Then, the artisan will pour concrete into the foundation, and then create the upper half of the statue. Next, the statue’s skeleton is built by using a welding machine to stick the joints together so that the steel and mesh cover the entire statue before being molded.
In the next step, the artisan will plaster the outside with cement to create a solid structure and thus create a cement statue exactly like in the original drawing.
Next, the artisan will refine the small details to match the shape on the design. The craftsman will now use cement to mold each small piece, while molding and carving to shape the statue. This step is extremely important, determining the beauty and harmony of the statue.
Step 3: Create the statue’s skin
This step requires extreme care, the engineer must mold the cement to create the most realistic shape for the statue. Molding small details, the purpose is to highlight the muscles, skin, and even the animal’s fur.
Step 4: Finishing paint
After carving and shaping, to make the statue more neat and beautiful, the artisan will smooth the cement surface. This decorative statue molding with cement requires meticulousness and high precision, so it often requires skilled workers. The more experienced the person, the sharper and more realistic the work will be. Then, apply a protective layer to the statue.
After the statue has completely dried, the artisan proceeds to paint the statue. The color of the statue depends on the characteristics of the animal or according to the customer’s request.
