Re: Bob the Alien (Giger inspired Alien) Sculpting finished page 45
:lol Thanks Fred
Bless... he looks cute with eye's :lol
I think I'd need to speed up a bit to work in the industry... just a bit :lol
Right, the second cast is out of the mould & I've got some cleaning up to do where the mould leaked, of course its stuck to the fiberglass quite well :facepalm
Ok, I submit... I'll have to fab some help with the rotating! Overall its another great cast but this time the underside has come out a bit thin for my liking.
The thinnest area's are the two tubes on the underside that run from the middle to the back, other than that, its perfectly usable
At the very least I can definitely use this one to build the buck for vac- forming the dome, the top & both sides are thick enough
I'm wondering if it might be wise to do the pour in two stages :unsure ie, I put a kilo of resin in, rotate & leave to cure for 10 mins, then cut the fill spout & pour the other kilo in :unsure ??? what's peoples thoughts on this?
Also, this may seem like a dumb question but... is it best to pour the foam before or after de-mould?? I'm thinking after so that the cast can be inspected for evenness first. But then that could cause distortion through the pressure of the foam expanding?? :unsure I've not used the A+B foam yet...
Anyhoo, heres a couple of pic's :
As you can see in the second pic, I need to dust the mould a little better next time! these are the only bubbles I've found so far
