Where bronze statues come from??

A bronze statue fabricating method comprising the steps of: defining the exterior surface of the sculpture to be fabricated; forming a first cast of a first material and having an exterior surface spaced inwardly by a predetermined amount from said exterior surface of said sculpture, the exterior surface of said first cast having profiles corresponding substantially to respective profiles of the exterior surface of said sculpture; covering the surface of said first cast with a layer of predetermined thickness, the exterior surface of said layer being substantially identical to the exterior surface of said sculpture; embedding said first cast with said layer within a second material; removing said layer from the interior of said second material, the removal of said layer leaving a vacant space between said second material and said first cast; filling said vacant space with a third material; and removing said second material to leave said third material exposed with a exterior surface identical to said exterior surface of said sculpture, said step of forming said first cast including the step of controlling the spacing between the exterior surface of said first cast and the exterior surface of said sculpture so that said spacing is of substantially uniform depth, the thickness of said layer being controlled so that said thickness is substantially uniform, the internal surface of said third material having a profile corresponding geometrically to the profile of the exterior surface of said third material, the spacing between said exterior surface of said first cast and said exterior surface of said sculpture being measured normal to both said exterior surfaces.
