Hi Jonathan

Yes a former made of would could do the trick, I work in a sculpture fabrication facility and have access to a small foundry. If 3 former's for the piece could be made (the cloud, the body and the helmet) I could make 2 piece resin bonded sand moulds for each of the former's and cast them, the 3 cast aluminium pieces could then be tig welded back together. I would not be able to offer the full £800 though as I would need to take resin bonded sand, gas, aluminium and finishing etc out of the budget for it. What price do you reckon I could get the formers milled in wood for?

Many Thanks
David
