    More specific Denmark.
    I've been on this site for a bit, but forgot to introduce myself.
    My name is Frederik, I'm 25 years old and I'm currently working on some lost wax casting.
    I've been casting for a long time, but never my own sculpting.
    That will hopefully change, as I'm working on an eagle that I intend to cast in tin first, then maybe move on to aluminium.

    Welcome, Xellish. It looks like you’ve already done some good work!

    Images embedded into the site are a good thing and links are OK but have a few drawbacks. You can upload images pretty easily by clicking on the “Upload Images” button and then following the prompts. It might take a couple minutes and a little experimentation. But, go ahead and give it a go. Looking forward to your future posts.

    It's actually water beads I used for the third and forth picture. I wish I could recreate the one that looks like a honey comb, but it is quite tricky.
    I can see that I was looking in the wrong place with the picture, I got it now.

    honey comb being wax you could use it as it is. dont know where you can get it from, bees wax is usually in blocks. maybe a local bee keeper could help out

    I live in a part of Denmark where there are some viking and other medieval fairs, and I've definitely seen some wax candles that looks like they were pressed and rolled honey combs.

    Hey, I see you embedded a photo. Nice. Now for the De-Luxe image management, edit that post, then select "More Options", and then where you see you thumbnail the should be a button to select "Full Image". Hit that and the image will magically appear in the post where the cursor was located. Lots of folks jsut post thumbnails, but I personally like the image in the post option.

    Regardless of how it is posted, the bust you did is very very nice.

    Thanks, I found out how to "thumbnail" in new posts.
    But I can't see how to edit already made posts.

    You only have a couple days in which to edit your posts.

    But since your recent post is "fresh," and if you are logged into the site, you will see an "Edit" button on a line below the post box. If you push that button, an editable box opens and there is a "more options" button below that box. Press it and you will find an "upload a file" button. Try sticking an image in there and then select "insert as a full size image." So easy to do, so hard to describe...like a lot of things.
