Yes he made a mould, then mixed up a resin to pour into the mould, then painted and tufted the worm.

I've never heard of the movie/show so I googled it, and the sculpture looks the same as the movie frames! Very fine craftsmanship!!

No it it made out of plastic. Mark makes the initial model out of modeling clay, he then refines it..........it takes hours!!!!!!!! then he makes a resin cast, and uses plastic to make it permanant. After that he files it, base coats it, and finally paints it.

Mark sold both the Worm and Falcor on Ebay. It was very exciting watching the bidding at the end. There was lots of interest shown too, so Mark feels pleased by his success, he is already planning his next sculpt.
