Yea, it hardens to like like action figure toughness. except see through and clear, and No bubbles if you stir softly and pour slowly.
They also sell a dye you can mix in and make different colors instead of just clear. If I were you you should try adding more hardener than it tells you to, I dont think it would end up brittle that way. |

sure thing.. but, they molds I made were real fast amateur fanboy molds. haha. The stuff the other guy is cranking out is far superior. It looks like and sounds like he knows whats up,hes invested some $$ into it, I havn't, and understands this process, far better than I do.. I just did mine quickly with some shit I bought from the local michaels. . So, If I were you, Id take his advice, more than mine.. although, Im not that dissapointed on how my he-mans heads came out.

I have invested over 1000.00 in product and equiptment just to start casting properly, as for the recipe it is in fact dukes torso , storm shadows legs wraiths calves hands and head, short fuzes feet and a clone troopers arms , I would gladly do a walk through on how I made the figure if you like but the process took me well over 3 weeks to complete a final piece, and I will tell you it is not easy to make
Oh yeah welcome to the Tank and great work on the Clear Wraith custom |

those are extremely nice! but I do not think that you could apply your method of molding or casting to joes, the detail is just too much, w/ joes you have to use a liquid molding agent, one that will get in all the "nooks and crannys" if you are starting out you may want to use this as it is simple and easy to use, but it is pricey
Mold Max® Performance Silicone Rubber but you will have to use a pressure pot so your air bubbles are reduced as little as possible, and always remember it is not how much money you put into it it is the end product that matters. Quote:
This is what I was able to do with my el cheapo product.
Well you seem to have put alot of time and money into it. It came out good, as I stated Ive only successfully done MOTU heads, im onto arms now, and have em down about 90%. Its just with supplies that are cheap. However, Didnt you just bascially make a mold of a body parts? Then build them together? the explanation on how to make a simple mold is about a 5 minute process. I honostly didn't mean that the figure you made was a 5 minute process.(with the stuff I used) I basically meant the IDEA of how to make a simple mold, its about a 5 minute grasping period. |
